I'd say ix-nay on the parents' names & jobs thing-- it's considered a very tacky question to ask.
I'd also say that church affiliation is okay to mention if it's related to volunteerism-- "Sunday School teacher, Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Sun Prairie, WI, 1995-1999"-- but don't just randomly say, "Oh, yeah, and I'm a Lutheran." That's irrelevant.
