...just in instances when you have to apply for stuff or whatever it is that requires you to fill in forms, sometimes you'd come across a field asking you what your religion is.
But if you're not comfortable with the faith you grew up in, what would you write?

It depends on the form and country. Some forms or countries may have a set of choices to choose from and something like unaffiliated or none may be a choice. Check the form or instructions that came with filling it out. I would write N/A for "not applicable" or none in the field otherwise. I recently moved to Austria and had to ask and here I was told to write o.b. which is their abbreviation for "without affliliation" so it varies but if you write none it should be clear as well.

No official document in the US will request declaration of religion. Under federal law, it is illegal to discriminate in employment and housing on the basis of race, national origin, ancestry, religion, marital status, sex, age, and disability.

In Australia there is always a disclaimer that states any questions about ethnicity, race, sexual orientation or religion are entirely voluntary. You don't have to answer them if you are uncomfortable or just don't want to..

You're not required to answer such requests, it's illegal. No company or organization would require you to answer such a question, except the Census. Leave the question blank.

Is this an U.S. document? If so, you can leave it blank.
If you must write something, you can write N/A or NA (which means not applicable).

None, no preference, N/A. I just leave it blank. In the USA it's usually illegal for them to ask that type of question.

In the USA that is a no-no. Separation of church and state.

Usual response would be
' Agnostic' if you don't know
and
'Atheist' if you know you do not have a religion.

N/A not applicable no one should ever have to tell them any way.

Write "How dare you ask me that" in invisible ink
