If a being or object exists in the universe, that should be all the bonafides they need. Any religious entity that demands belief in theology or demands membership ceremonies like baptism are out of line. All bonafides exist inside an entity. Any supreme being or religious leader who demands anything is just trying to keep control.
And any government who demands more than taxes, such as loyalty oaths, standing during national anthem, etc. is out of line. Paying taxes is the ultimate patriotism.
