Perhaps they aren't releasing his religion because people would jump to conclusions? Perhaps their current investigation has pushed Islamic extremism to the bottom of the list of possible motives and as such his religion isn't relevant?
I'm sure the police aren't just ignoring any possible connection with Islamic extremism, but if isn't likely to be related there is little point in dwelling on the possibility when there are better leads to follow. In return there is little point in dwelling on it in press releases and news reports.
Yes but by not releasing it people are also jumping to conclusions. Ref. This thread.
Why hide something when, as I've said several times already, it is very pertinent given the recent nature of attacks? That and again as I've stated, the German police have recent history of trying to cover up minority crimes.
