We’ve all got those photos—the long white gowns, the family gathered around a font, the “just in case” baptism. It was a nice day for the family, but is it who you are now? The Census asks you to report a religion even if you aren’t a practicing member. This “weak affiliation” model effectively locks in your childhood identity to justify current religious privilege in education and tax law. It’s time to dress for the life you actually live.
