with one another and all labeled "other" as if they don't matter?

I get requiring at least a minimum of adherents to be a separate group, but they currently exist, so WHY take recognition away when it's MORE work to remove them than to leave them in place? Ibdividuals choose their affiliation, no one else has to find it in a long list for them. The military is not required to have clergy for every group. Chaplains are trained to be able to give spiritual guidance generically whenever necessary.

Let "other" be for those with fewer than 1,000 known adherents and leave the process alone as is.
