Counted as affiliation of by culture ,studies are as said not a census. I was born into something . My belief may be something else. Then also not all religions are equal in my book .

One end is more prone to blow shit up just for who beliefs in what skydaddy.
Am I religious? No . Am I spiritual? sure but I would never trust a hippie. And my worldview is more based around material reality than idealistic wishing. Where do I end up in the stats?
Yeah, but these are taken as sample. I’ve never once been asked, but I’m certain my existence in a particular geographic area has been counted one way or the other. Was the sample statistically significant? Who knows.

No, he said that he would probably be COUNTED as Protestant on some survey, those are rarely polled largely enough, and it’s certainly not a census.
I still have records in the Mormon church, but I’m definitely not a Mormon any more. Would I be counted as one in those stats? Probably.
Studies don’t randomly guess if someone is religious or not, they ask people directly if they are religious.
