It is quite possible the early Christian movement was a rebellion against filling out government forms. This is why the Holy couple Mary and Joseph fled to Bethlehem and later Egypt.

If I was in charge I would pass a law that every citizen had to spend at least three hours of their day puzzling over new and complicated forms. All the questions on the forms would intrude on people's basic right to privacy and anyone who failed to fill out the forms would face a fine of more money than they could ever afford. This would put millions of people to work delivering and collecting forms and be self financed from the fines collected and inspire in people a spirit of obedience.
