Even the old paper databases were a terrible idea.

There was a registration list of every person and what religion they were for tax purposes, everyone was fine with it. Then 1941 happened.

A couple decades ago I lived and worked in Germany. Lots of paperwork, though I don't recall being asked any religion questions. Which form requires this?

The address registration form has this field: https://allaboutberlin.com/docs/anmeldung

Everyone must fill this form soon after moving to Germany. It's very difficult to proceed without registering one's address.

I "learned" that from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31891886 (which, might not be factual; I didn't bother to check because it's not high on my fact check priority list...).

Asking if someone wants to pay church tax is not asking about their religion. People can pay without being Christian or vice versa.

That's not true. All Christians must pay the church tax. You can't opt out without leaving the Church.
