In Austria, btw, Trump's idea is already the case (although voluntarily).
When people have to register themselves at a town hall in the CPR (central population register) after moving into a city, they can also register their religion (although you can also leave it blank of course). About 99% of people still indicate a religious or non-religious status though for some reason and only a handful opt for leaving the space blank ...
Which means the religious makeup of the country could be easily compiled at any given time our register-based Census is conducted - using the CPR numbers, but it's not (=> because asking census questions about religious composition was scrapped after the 2001 Census here because it's too "sensitive" of an issue these days. The 2011 register-based Census was the first without a religious composition question).
