Who to ask: Ask the head of the household or the person responding.

How to ask:
"What church or religion does the person belong to? "There are cases where members of households belong to different church/religious groups. You may have to ask every member of the household. Never assume that everybody in the household belongs to the same church as the head of household.

Also, do not assume that everyone in the village belongs to same religious group or church. There are pockets of households and individuals in some areas who may have different religious beliefs. These are quite common in urban areas where increases in numbers of other religions have occurred in recent times.

How to record:
In the space provided write the name of the church/religion, which the person says he/she belongs to. For example a lady says she's a Lutheran, you write Lutheran Church and not L.C. for short.
