Question 7:- What is [the respondent]'s 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.


1. Orthodox (Tewahido, Kibat, Tsega)
2. Protestant (Seventh Day Adventist, Pentecost, Lutheran, MekaneYesus, Baptist, Mennonite, Anglican, Presbyterian, Meserete Kirnstos, MuluWengel, KaleHiywot, etc.)
3. Catholic
4. Muslim (Islam)
5. Traditional beliefs
6. Other (for example:-Jehovah, Baha'i, Jewish, Hindu, ...etc)
