Văd că un sens al cuvântului conscripţie, în context bisericesc, este de recensământ la nivel de parohii, episcopie etc.

În trecut în multe ţări se organizau astfel de recensăminte, numite "religious census", "census of religious bodies" sau "census of religious worship" (UK)

Ar merge "religious census" dacă textul se referă la un recensământ din secolele XVIII-XIX, de pildă.

În prezent, terminologia preferată e mai neutră şi oricum astfel de recensăminte sunt subsumate recensămintelor naţionale.

Organismele de statistică din Canada, Noua Zeelandă, Australia, SUA, folosesc indicatorul "religious affiliation" în recensămintele desfăşurate.

Cf:
Religious affiliation is a variable of strong interest to religious organisations, social scientists, and can be used as an explanatory variable in studies on topics such as marriage formation and dissolution, fertility and income.

The census collects information on religious affiliation only, regardless of whether respondents actually practice their religion. Data on the frequency of attendance at religious services have been collected by Statistics Canada’s General Social Survey since 1986.

A question on religious affiliation has been asked in every census taken in Australia, with the voluntary nature of this question having been specifically stated since 1933. In 1971 the instruction 'if no religion, write none' was introduced. This saw a seven-fold increase from the previous census year in the percentage of persons stating they had no religion. Since 1971 this percentage has progressively increased to about 16% in 1996 and 2001. Table 12.26 provides a summary of the major religious affiliations at each census since 1901.
