In countries that collect church taxes on behalf of the church, it can be necessary to officially de-register your religion to avoid paying taxes to the church.
A lot of churches/temples are membership-based. You can probably still attend sermons and the like in most cases if you’re not a member, but they won’t let you have a wedding, baptize your baby etc. in their temple.
That’s wild to me. Or it isnt and the catholic roll is so normal to me that I don’t see it as the same thing, just with participating locations in every part of the planet. Idk I haven’t been Christian since college
I don’t ever see it being helpful in life to register your religion.

It’s mostly in death so people put you in the right cemetery.
I would worry more about being rounded up depending on your id and who’s in charge than being put in the right place.
Right? Idgaf what happens to my corpse when I die, I won’t be able to. They can throw it in the dumpster for all I care.
