Then you’re still treating people unequally based on however many holidays their religion has. Not to mention atheists. It shouldn’t go beyond “you get priority to get this specific day off over this other person for whom it’s not a special day”. And of course not allowing employers to deny vacation requests without a good reason, for some minimum number of days a year.
If not hiring people based on their religion is allowed, that’s in itself religious discrimination. By that same logic indigeneous people in canada should have worse chances of being hired right now because they get extra days off. (And let’s face it that might even be happening, even if not officially).
Effectively it’d just mean that companies would prefer hiring atheists that don’t get extra days off.
Oh, actually! Some companies do something kinda neat - everyone gets federal holidays as normal, and then in addition to normal PTO you get to choose one non-federal holiday that means a lot to you to take as your no questions asked personal holiday

Then choose your religion based on how many days off it gets you.
I can make a new one that has a holiday every day of the year at that point.
That aside, pretending to be part of a religion for personal gain feels rather disrespectful for something that for many people is deeply personal.
Sure. Then if nobody hires you, it’s not religious discrimination - they’re actually respecting your religion’s beliefs about never needing to work
