Looking at google, to help you understand, you could use the word "communalism", here it would mean to "significantly prefer/select from a specific religious group".

Here an example in India: https://vajiramandravi.com/quest-upsc-notes/communalism/

I’m genuinely more confused after reading that. Are you asking if they tried sending resumes with religiously-coded names? (They obviously didn’t.)

Yeah I think leaving out such accutely critical non-orthogonal "parameter" is damaging significantly the study.

That's a totally separate question. Does America have an entry-level religious wage gap in need of explanation?

Like, if I were doing this study in India, sure, that would be a target variable. Perhaps moreso than race.

That article has many Indian English-isms! I think the closest word I know to describe that phenomenon would be "sectarianism", though that has a pile of other connotations too.
