Interviewer instructions
8. Religious affiliation:
Explanation: Please indicate the church or religious denomination that you belong to. If you are not certain whether one of the items corresponds to your religious affiliation, please enter your religious affiliation in the text line.

The legal membership in a church or religious domination should be indicated - anyone who is unsure if their religion is one of the religions to be marked may enter their religion on the text line.

This question has been asked for more than 100 years on the population census questionnaire. Also, religion is a socio-cultural characteristic that becomes significant in different ways of life (different career emphases, family establishment patterns and number of children). The recognized religious denominations have especially placed value on the inclusion of this question in the population census.

The information on religion is - as with all other characteristics - only published in tabular form. For the church tax, the religious denominations receive the information from the registration office, not from the population census.
