They are asking what policy decisions hinge on that religion question. Given 1st amendment protections against government policy that favors one religion over another, I think that’s a fair question to ask.

Don’t some countries in EU have face covering bans that have to take religious practices into consideration?

Isn’t (non) taxation of religious institutions an ongoing debate? Wouldn’t knowing religious census data aid in exploring that?

Those are two things that’s popped into my head immediately. If I thought about it for an extended period of time, especially if I knew more about governed t and law, I’m sure there would be other avenues of consideration.

We are talking about the US census. The 1st amendment freedom of religion is a US-only thing.

For example, the US can have a law banning or allowing face coverings, but cannot have a law allowing face covering for members of one religion but not others.

So, are you implying the gov will have preferential treatment for one religion or another based on census data?

nobody still managed to reply the answer: what will do govt DO based on the data?
