Perhaps they lived in the Vatican?

Collection of this data is part of equality and diversity monitoring. Of course provision of this data is optional by members. It is certainly subject to the data protection law.

"None/not disclosed" are not the same

Being a sad pedant I did actually complain about that last time around. Obviously hasn't changed though. If it needs recording I'd rather my "none" didnt fall in the same category as someone who doesnt want to admit they are a mormon (other faiths are available)

Except it isn't if the system defaults to one answer. And as has been noted, none and not disclosed are not the same thing so it's not collecting accurate data from some (many?) members.

I can't see that religious belief has any link to orienteering in any way, therefore this information should not be included on the BOF database.

You mean kite-worship isn't a religion
