Members don't see this ad.

Leave it out. Too much stigma (unjustly) attached and could lead to you being discriminated against.

Many physicians are religious, so expect at least some members of the committee to believe in some sort of deity.

You don't want to distinguish yourself as they guy who finds what these people consider sacred - God and medicine - incompatible.

From one atheist to another, avoid like the plague.
