If y ou are viewing a person through the Edit person and go to the Events
tag there is already an event type for religion, christening, confirmation,
baptism, bar/bas mitzvah.  From what I understand, there are certain "event
fields" that are standard for GEDCOM files.  If you start adding additional
ones in there and try to import your GEDCOM file into another Genealogy
program those files may not import.  Although you are able to add any
"Event Type" you want just by typing it.  I have added several of my own
into my file which include; high school, elementary school, middle school,
employment, etc.

See above note about adding new "Event Types"
