Is it legal in the state of Pennsylvania for an employer to **** test employees who are or don’t seem to be of a religious background upon hiring and not the ones who are or seem to be of a religious background?

yes it could be viewed as discrimination especially if it holds true throughout and there are no exceptions to this pattern. At this point you would best be served by seeking advice from a local attorney who specializes in this area of law. An employer cannot discriminate based on religion and if they are doing so you will have a valid case against them
If you speak to an attorney oftentimes the initial constul is free so you can explain all the specifics and than decide together whether to pursue it or not. Good luck
