Your religion, church or religious direction.

Everyone is free to decide his/her confession religion, therefore the interviewer should find out the answer to each respondent individually.

For the completion of this question, the interviewer uses one of the possible answers included in the coded list of religions (confessions) and the correspondent numerical code is written in the intended box. If the replier is considered to be a follower of one of the religious directions, 14th question should be completed using codes "01"-"16" as following:

"01" Follower of the Armenian Apostolic church.

To complete the inside of the questionnaire, you must have:

- Read and fully understand the contents of this manual.
- If any points are unclear to you, ask your team leader for an explanation.
- Know the definitions perfectly and the meaning of the abbreviations used.
- The presence of the person you are surveying to obtain reliable information. If the head of the household is absent, speak with his representative to get the necessary information.

[p.32]

- Ask each person to be surveyed to present an identification document (national identification card, birth certificate, passport, driver's license, etc.) in order to quickly obtain answers to questions regarding first and last names, date of birth, etc.

Carefully follow all instructions you have been given, especially regarding how to ask the questions.

5. Religion
There is one square; one of the following 4 options is recorded: (1) Muslim, (2) Christian, (3) Jewish, and (4) Other.

Religion is a faith a person follows or membership to a spiritual organization. It is important to present the question on the type of religion to all members of the household and fill this column. When the answer is "Christian" to this question, then the specific type has to be further identified and filled in column 20 by choosing one from codes 1 to 3 in column 20. Hence the type of religion each member follows has to be identified by asking the member and cross checking with the list given at the top of the column and to be entered in the space provided in the column and the correct code in card column 37.

Sometimes it may be attempted to predict religion of household members simply be taking the household head's religion. Since this is not the right approach, each of the household members must be interviewed and the response has to be entered in the column and its code in card column 37. Husband and wife can have different religions.

The type of religion filled for children will be the religion of their parents. For children born from parents with different religions their father's religion will be taken for them.

19. Religion

Before collecting information about household members, the definition of head of household and usual household member should be well appreciated. Therefore, the concept of household given in section 2 of chapter two should be appropriately understood.

A. Usual member of a household
A person is said to be a usual member of the household if he/she lives at least six months of the year continuously with the household. In addition, a person is considered to be a usual member of the household if he/she has the intention to live with the household forever even though he/she lived with the household less than six months. Persons who left their household temporarily for less than six months are considered as usual member of their households. However, persons are not considered as usual members of the household if they left their households for six months or more, or who left their households for less than six months but have the intention to leave for more than six months.

The following members of the household are considered usual household members:

B. Visitors
A visitor is any relative or non-relative person who is not a usual member of the household but spent the census night in the household.

C. Head of household
A head of household is a person who is a usual member (male or female) in the household acknowledged as head by the other members. If a man has two or more wives who live in separate households, he will be enumerated as head of the household with his oldest living wife (first married) if he is recognized as head. Other wives will be enumerated with their households as head or member of the households.

Column 13: Serial number of members of the household and visitors
The questionnaire has space to list up to ten members of a household. If the number of the members of the household is greater than ten, it is necessary to use an additional questionnaire. In this situation, the serial numbers given in column 13 (01-10) are corrected as 11, 12, 13, etc. until all members and visitors are listed.

Column 19: What is (name's) religion?
Religion is an affiliation with a group having specific religious or spiritual tenets. The code of the religion for each member of the household is entered in the given box by asking each member of the household. If the answer for the religion question is "Christian", the appropriate code should be selected and entered in the card column from codes 1 - 3 that are given below for Christian religions. The religion of a baby who has not been baptized should be coded as the religion of his/her parents. By asking each member of the household, the appropriate code of the religion of each member of the household should be entered. If any other religion is mentioned other than the religions associated with codes 1 - 5, code 6 should be entered.

It is not appropriate to try to guess the religions of all members of the household based on the religion of the head of the household. Therefore, by asking each member of the household, the code of the religion for each member of the household should be written by selecting the appropriate code from codes listed below. Spouses may have different religions and therefore the religion question should be asked separately of each of them and the appropriate code should be entered.

The religion for infants is the same religion as their parents. For infants who were born from parents of different religions, the code of the religion that his/her parents think that his/her religion will be in the future is entered in the given space. The religion codes are given below.

7. Religion

Religion is an affiliation with a group having specific religious or spiritual tenet. The code of the religion for each member of the household should be shaded by asking each member of the household. If the answer for the region question is "Christian", the appropriate code should be selected from the codes "1-3" that are given for the codes of Christian religions under this question and this code should be appropriately shaded. The religion of a baby who was born from Christian parents and his/ her age is not reached to baptize during the enumeration should be shaded the code of his/her parents' religion. By asking each member of the household, the appropriate code of the religion for each member of the household should be shaded. If any other religion is mentioned other than the religion listed from the codes "1-5", code 6 should be shaded.

It is not the appropriate way to try to guess the religions of all members of the household by taking the religion of the head of the household. Therefore, by asking each member of the household, the code of the religion for each member of the household should be shaded by selecting the appropriate code from the listed codes of religions given under this question. Spouses may have different religion and therefore religion question for each of them should be asked separately and the appropriate code should be shaded.

The religion for infants should be shaded the same religion as their parents. The religion of infants who was born from parents of different religions, should be shaded the code of the religion that his /her parents think that his/her religion will be in the future. The choices of the religion codes are given below.

Write the code corresponding to the respondent's religious affiliation in the boxes provided.

Ask these questions for all of the persons, independent of their age or other situation:

Question 14: Religion

For the purposes of the question "Religion," we have only considered three alternatives: "Catholic," "Christian non-Catholic" and "other."

The Christian non-Catholic religions, such as Protestant, Evangelical, Anglican, Baptist, Christian, Presbyterian, and Adventist are grouped under the term "non-Catholic Christian religions."

In the line "other", you should include religions such as Buddhist, Islamic, Hebrew, Judean or Jewish, Mohammedan, etc. In this group you should include the persons who declare that they have no religion or that declare a situation not classified in the previous groups.

[Question 12: What is your religion?]

Question 12 provides information on the number of people of each religion or religious denomination. Everyone should answer this question, whether or not they have a religion.

This question is not about frequency of attendance at church or other place of worship. People should answer the question based on how they feel now about their religious beliefs, if any. The question is asking about the person's current religion or belief and not about the religion the person may have been brought up with.

If the person does have a religion they can identify that religion by ticking one of the tick box categories, or by writing in a description of your religion or belief in the write-in boxes.

If they do not have a religion - they should go to the end of the question and mark the 'no religion' box.

If a person's religion is not listed, they should mark this box and write it in.

What is [the respondent's] religion?

In this section the information of the people who inhabit the dwelling, like the sex, age, level of studies, income, among others, is obtained.

Before requesting the information for each person, copy all the names in the spaces designated for them, and for each person start with the phrase: "Now I'm going to ask about (mention the name of the person you previously noted)", so that the informer knows about whom you will be asking the information.

For all persons
[Questions 1-11 are for all persons.]

9. Religion
Write the name of the religion as the informer declares it, without using abbreviations.

If the response is Protestant, Evangelical, or Christian, ask to which church, congregation, or religious denomination they ascribe, since these are not religions themselves but rather beliefs that include various religions.

Example:
Interviewer: "What is Oscar's religion?"
Informer: "Protestant".
Interviewer: "To which church, congregation, or religious denomination does he belong?"
Informer: "He's a Jehovah's Witness".

Insist in knowing the name of the religion taking care to not bother or make uncomfortable the informer, in the case that the response is generic, such as: "Independent", "That of his/her parents", "That of the neighborhood", among others.

In this section, information is obtained for each of the people living in the housing unit.

Before requesting data for each resident, copy the details from Section II. List people and general data, their names, gender, and age, and write them down in the spaces provided. Do not forget to correct the person number when using more than one questionnaire.

[Figure omitted: image with text]

For the respondent to know who to provide the information about, start with the sentence: "Now I'm going to ask you about...", and mention the name of the person you previously wrote down.

Apply questions 1 through 11 for all the people who are habitual residents, including children, as well as elderly people.

In these cases, insist on knowing the name of the religion, taking care not to bother or disturb the respondent.
In some cases they will refer to religious beliefs in different ways, which may not be familiar to you; for example:

In these cases, remember to write down verbatim what the respondent states.
Consider also that the respondent may not have, profess or follow any religion or religious belief and he may state: "I have no religion", "none", "atheist", or "no religion", among others. In these cases, remember again to record verbatim what the respondent tells you.

[p. 308]

Remember that as an INEGI employee, you must respect the Institute's code of ethics, whose standards of conduct include respect and equality, which refers to recognizing and considering the rights and freedoms of individuals and not discriminating against any person on the basis of ethnic origin, nationality, disability, economic status, religion or any other cause.

Keep in mind that the premise, in accordance with the neutrality of a census, is to record religion in a secular manner, without establishing preferences, without qualifying or discriminating against any belief, so that all statements made by the respondent are recorded verbatim.
The religion question is presented in the census manager as follows:

[Figure omitted: image with text]

[Question 6 through 36 were asked to the residents]

11. What is (the person)'s religion/belief?

For the purpose of the Census you should consider all religions or beliefs, regardless of being or not registered or organized. In case you have any doubts concerning the religion of the minors, you should register the one declared by one of the parents.
Read the Question and wait for a reply. If the respondent answers they attend the Anglican Church, mark an X in box number 2. Sometimes it is not easy for people to say what religion they profess because they simply know the name of the church. For example they could say it is Saint Sebastian Church and, in this case, mark an X in box number 7 (Other) and write LEGIBLY the name of the Church in the space provided. DO NOT USE ACRONYMS for names of religions. In case its name is too long, write it in some space available or use the space allowed for the notes.

Be aware that:

[9] What is the religion of [the respondent]? ____

Column 9: what religion does [the respondent] follow?
Religion means the culture and belief the people follow. During the time of enumeration, ask the religion of each member in the family is following and write the religion in this column. Keep in the mind that the religion followed by each member in the family might be different and write impartially the religion followed by each member by asking each of them. Some of the gods or goddess are respected by more than one religion or community. E.g. Mahadev, Bhimsen, Buddha, etc. are respected generally by more than one religion or community. Hence, it is not appropriate to identify the religion of a person on the basis of respect or worship to any god or goddess. During the interview, if any member in the family responds that he or she do not follow any religion, this should be written under "not following any religion" as he or she said.

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.

P8. Religious Affiliation - What is [the respondent]'s religious affiliation?

P8-Religious Affiliation
Religious affiliation refers to a particular system of beliefs, attitudes, emotions, and behaviors constituting man's relationship with the powers and principalities of the universe. Data on this are required for the planning of religion-related and/or -sponsored activities. They may also be used in examining the ethnic characteristics of the population.
Specify the religious affiliation of the member as reported by the respondent on the space provided. Enter the corresponding code in the boxes. Use the codebook as reference.
If the religious affiliation reported is not among the pre-coded answers provided in the codebook, write code "99".
An infant who is not yet baptized must carry the religious affiliation of his/her mother.
Take note that the "Protestant" religion has different denominations; same is true with "other" religions. In case you are in doubt on how to classify a certain religious sect, write the specific religion on the space provided. For Roman Catholics, Protestants, and others who are members of charismatic movements or fellowships and now call themselves as "born again" Christians or charismatics, verify where they are attending religious services. Hence, an El Shaddai follower who still attends to or practices Roman Catholic religious rites should still be considered as a Roman Catholic.

Indigenous peoples (IPs) who practice a traditional religious or belief system may not necessarily belong to any church, unless they have already been converted to a particular religion. If a member of the household, who is an IP, is baptized in any of the formal religions, he/she should be reported as an affiliate of that religion. However, if the IP respondent mentioned that a member of the household believes or has faith in Kabunian, Apo Namalyari, Magbabaya, and so on, which refer to supreme deities in their language, the religious affiliation shall be coded as "96" for Tribal Religion. Tribal religion is characterized by the observance of indigenous rituals, such as, venerating the dead ancestors and invoking divine intercession for good things in life.
