I'd suggest a flat hierarchy similar to what Wikipedia does. Give each
religion, country, race and whatever else you have a single page in
the top namespace. Then have overview pages linking to the other pages
( like a religion page listing all religions) and interlink all pages
( a country should link to its religion, neighboring countries, and so
on)
