If any government official asks your religion - Say "First Amendmentism"

Story over. Assuming the official even understood what you meant, that's the only answer anyone should give. If pressed, say, that the first words of that religion's creed are, "Congress shall make no law..."

Nobody in government has any right whatsoever to inquire into your religious beliefs. Period.
