Religion and cultural community are sensitive information. Cofelt does not display those fields as profile labels or expose them as Network filters.
You can leave them empty, or edit and clear information you have supplied. They do not change your birth-chart calculation.
The current recommendation ranker uses chosen discovery location, reach, preferences and chart context. It does not rank or exclude people by religion, caste, birthplace or inferred ancestry. Optional shared public details and languages have separate controls.
Choosing to share something in a conversation is different from storing it as a private profile field. Think about the audience before including sensitive details in a bio or message.
