In my dictioinary the entries for Christian, Hindu and Jew are all capitalized. Christian and Hindu are not included in the SOWPODS list, but the word jew is. To identify a person or group by religious affiliation, you would capitalize. I have been using the search function on this site to test words for SOWPODS acceptance.

By the way, what I propose to do with regard to dictionaries is the following: I'll use the dictionary.com listings (it's more international than the likes of m-w.com) but I'll also check against SOWPODS. I'll let you know the first time the two differ.
By the way, if you find a better word, feel free to resubmit. I'll use the most recent submission received before the daily deadline.
