I go to vote at a church hall no one stops me and asks me if I've found Jesus. If I go to a conference the only subjects I expect to hear preached are semantics and semicolons.

I'm in the UK actually, but I do believe recognised religions get some forms of tax breaks in the UK as well though I'm not complealty sure.

I completely agree. I've seen such things been blown out of proportion before and was aiming to keep the rules subjective while at the same time showing a serious commitment. But it's clear I didn't do a great job in articulating that so will go back to the drawing board and keep trying.
