Completed. I’m concerned that the “mixed” options for religious background are concealing meaningful demographic information. For instance, my parents are of Christian and Jewish parentage, so I chose the “mixed” option because I do not consider my cultural heritage to be predominantly Jewish or Christian. A person with Hindu and Muslim parents would have the same answer, but a very different cultural background. Perhaps in future it might be better to use a “check all that apply” format?
