Religion has something for all the function preferences.
The universalized inner ethics it supports will appeal to Fi. However, if it doesn't seem authentic or congruent with other personal values, they may resist it.
The group harmony will appeal to Fe. However, if the group dynamic is abused, and disharmony is sensed; then they will be against it.
Te will like the organizational aspect of it.
Ti can like some of the concepts, but they may run afoul of universal logical principles. So of the judgment functions, Ti will probably have the most trouble getting into it.
Si also likes the concrete structure. However, bad memories (esp. childhood, etc.) will make them rebel against it and never look back.
Ni might like the archetypes and symbols that can be found in it. But then these things might move them away from an "orthodox" interpretation in any system.
Ne will like the possibilities of how it can make things better. But then if it is too restrictive and tradition-focused, they will be left dry.
Se probably has the least use for religion.
Also, of course, for any of these functions preferred, the opposite will be in the nonpreferred position, and also affect the person's view of it.
Like because a Ti dominant is going by internal logic; if it is a judgmental authoritarian atmosphere that restricts free thinking, then the inferior Fe, as vulnerable as it is, will sense potential disharmony and shy away from the group.
A Te preferrer's lesser Fi will also rebel against the organizational aspect of it if it is seen as trampling personal/universal values.
