This has been bothering me for some time, but as I need to fill in an EM form today it has come up again, and I was wondering if anyone could clarify.
If the question states
I am a member of the Protestant community:
I am a member of the Roman Catholic community:
I am not a member of either the Protestant or the Roman Catholic communities:
is it fair for me to state that I am a member of neither community, if I grew up in one of them, but no longer consider myself to be a part of that community?
If the question asks about community background I always answer accordingly. But when the question refers to current membership, as above, I am not happy, as a point of principle, to be attributed to either community.
It is an offence to give false information, so am I commiting an offence by not stating my community background in a question that appears to refer to the present?
