   Although the government has restored Confucianism's status as a recognized religion, many local authorities do not abide by it and have refused to allow ethnic Chinese from listing it as a religion on their identity cards. Local officials remained largely unaware that the civil registration law legally allowed citizens to leave the religion section on their identity cards blank.

   If your local official follows the rules, you don't have to display one of six approved religions on your ID card.

   Is there a structural disadvantage to going blank? Would you miss out on some benefits or quotas? Would your community frown upon it?
