The only evidence the state should accept for proof of citizenship should be state controlled records. I don't think atheist should have an easier way to fake their citizenship either.
... but hospital and school records aren't necessarily controlled by the state, either. And why do you assume "faked" citizenship?
The state has complete control of school records and has lots of control over hospital records.

The state has no control over religious records. Their records will be easier to fake and impossible to audit unless we create rules for how the church keeps their records.
