Regardless of what CC has to say with respect to BY-NC and BY-NC-ND and 
BY-NC-SA, this link may impact the answer to that question as well:

"Yes, "the religious services exemption" in the Copyright Law permits for the 
performance of copyrighted religious works in the course of services at 
places of worship or at religious assemblies."

Seems there is something called "the religious services exemption" - does

I have been wondering lately about copyright on religious works and the US
