If religious records encourage undocumented people to go to church, I guess that means they're also encouraged to go to the hospital to give birth and to send their kids to school. What is the difference?
It's not like they're asking for all of those forms of evidence; it's not like you have to prove you went to church as a kid in order to obtain a passport. It only helps because churches keep records. Again, what types of records could a family of unbelievers have to replace the religious ones?
I really don't understand the problem here. Why is it bad to have the option of providing records that could have been kept when someone was a child? They're not encouraging religion, they're just recognizing that churches keep records.
