USCIS claiming that the father's name is not identified in the birth certificate

[MKal 35]

I am petitioning for my stepson  and just received an RFE. The letter states that the father's name is not listed in the birth certificate, and now I have to submit religious documents or school records. What I don't understand is why, because I have the original copy and it clearly states the father's name.

Is your birth certificate in another language? If so, getting a copy in English could help. 

They could have missed it on the birth certificate or lost it altogether. I would resubmit it, together with the other requested documents, and even highlight the name.

I sent a copy of the original birth certificate along with the translation, both of them clearly state the father's name.

They're not asking me to send the birth certificate again. I would think that they would ask for it if it was lost.

I will send it again along with the rest of the documents. I don't understand why they are making such claim.

I apologize, it was unintentional.
