обозначать свою религиозную принадлежностьidentify with a religion (It is a complicated issue in the contemporary world. Some adults (approx. 9%) who identify with a religion (e.g., say they are Catholic, Protestant, or Jewish) also say they do not believe in God. Such people fit the dictionary definition of "atheist" (a person who believes that God does not exist), but do not call themselves atheists. At the same time, some people (approx. 8%) who describe themselves as atheists also say they believe in God, so actually such persons are religiously unaffiliated. Alex_Odeychuk)
