Religious affiliation

All religion codes are combined with a ';' as divider. Religion codes are at level four of the classification, the first character of the number denotes the major religion group.

Religious affiliation is the self-identified association of a person with a religion, denomination, or sub-denominational religious group.

A religion is a set of beliefs and practices that usually involves acknowledging a higher power, and guides people’s conduct and morals. Religious affiliation can have multiple responses as people may have affiliation with more than one religion or denomination.

A denomination is a subgroup of a religion. For example, Roman Catholic is a Christian denomination.

Note: the 'Object to answer' category is within the residual categories but is a valid response.
