At the professional level, most people I know just serve
I knew a doctor that would just throw them away and if they ever asked, which she said they never did, she was confident that telling them she was a doctor would resolve it. Apparently that got her off countless speeding tickets. Yeah, that's right. You read that correctly. Gotta love the legal system.

What kind of religious reasons are excused from judy duty?
Basically, anything you think the judge will swallow. It would have to be something that represents a religious belief that would make you incapable of deciding the case or incapable of rendering a fair verdict. You could say that because the bible says, "Judge not, lest ye be judged," you feel you could not fairly decide the case because it would be wrong for you to do so, and you would be unable to decide either way. You could also ask to be excused on the grounds you don't think you could be fair because you believe the defendant looks guilty and your mind is made up, or, you could say the defendant doesn't look capable of committing the crime and you could not, in good conscience find otherwise. Or just say you believe you have an irreparable bias that would make it impossible to decide the case fairly and don't say which unless asked.

noAdded: (in the US) members of certain religions, who conscientiously object to sitting in judgment on others, or those suffering from physical disabilities, etc, can be excused from jury duty.

Are people with physical or mental disabilities excused from jury duty?
With mental disabilities, yes. With physical disabilities, it depends. They certainly wouldn't have any trouble being excused if they wished to be, though I'm refering to the traditional "physical disabilities", not the ones that count nowadays for SSI. Obviously if the disability was such that they could not hear or see the evidence, they'd be excused.
