The paper analyses how algorithmic profiling techniques undermine religious freedom in a novel sound and what regulatory response is envisaged from legal systems. With this aim, the paper first describes the different scenarios in which European-inspired and confessional data protection legislations come together. It then focuses on algorithmic profiling to show how these techniques elude some of the cornerstones of data protection legislations. These normative shortcomings result in a failure to contain the violation of some dimensions of religious freedom, namely those related to privacy, digital identity, and discriminations. As a results, the paper offers some insights into the remedies that can be taken in order to protect citizens and believers from the risks of technological evolution.
