It depends on whether it's a coded way of asking if the candidate is married/has kids.

    Interviewer: Do you work on an open source project outside of work?
    Candidate: No, I'm too busy looking after my kids and Church activities
    Interviewer (thinking): Oh shit, I better have a damn good reason to give to HR if I reject this candidate...
