And fathers are always going to be more protective of their daughter than their son, so his allowing his own son to have girls over doesn't really have any bearing here. I'd actually go along with his rules, as a demonstration that your relationship with her isn't just about sleeping together; it's not going to make him change his mind about you, but if you refuse and stay in a hotel, it's only drawing attention to the sexual nature of your relationship with his daughter, and he's not likely to forget that soon.
Neither my parents nor my wife's allowed us to sleep in the same bed when visiting before we were married, and while it annoyed me that my parents had that approach, I'd never challenge her parents over it. My parents are protestant and hers are agnostic, but I don't really think it has much to do with religion.

Yeah, but the sneaking around thing is just totally awesome.
Nothing like sneaking into the room that she grew up in and totally hammering her in the single bed.
