I think there are a lot of reasons. Some people are unsure, some only answer what is required of them in the census (you don't have to answer that field) and some still have an attitude somewhere along the lines of 'it's rude to talk about religion' and don't want people to know.
To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget
