Question 5 Religion

95. "What is this person's religion?"

96. Write the religion and the denomination or sect of the person - for example, Catholic, Church of Uganda, Seventh Day Adventist, Moslem, Traditional. If the person has no religion, write "None".

97. Once you have established the religion of the head of the household you may ask, "Are all members of the household of the same religion?"

98. If they are, you may write the initials rather than writing religion and denomination in full for all members of the household. Thus, if the head and everyone else in the household are of the Church of Uganda you should write "Ch of Uganda" for the head and you may write "C.O.U" for the rest. Similarly, if the head and everyone in the household are Catholic you should write "Catholic" for the head and you may write "RC" for the rest - or "Seventh Day Adventist" for the head and "SDA" for the rest - or as the case may be.
