What's amazing here is that a judge thinks feeding people is a religious belief.
I don't see that as a stretch. Religions throughout history have held that we must act altruistically and help others, though adherents often don't respect that part of it all. For reference, I am a strict atheist.
Yep. The Fourth Pillar of Islam is to give to the poor. The House of Saud couldn't give less of a shit about the poor.

It absolutely is if you follow the word of Christ. Unfortunately, most self-proclaimed Christians reject the word of Christ.
