I have been part of a friend's therapy for 12 years and religion never came up. In fact it was only recently we found out they had a spouse. It was 2 years ago found out they had a daughter.

For me when the therapist focuses on the client's situation they express empathy and validate their emotions. In my opinion, it is more beneficial than when the therapist tells of their own process. It is a sharp shift of focus to begin talking about yourself. But maybe you should ask your husband how he feels with that therapist. No one can say better than him.

On the other hand, it would be very natural to be saying that with a friend.
