About 12 years ago or so, while on a camping trip, I burned my e-jamaat card in the camp fire. My parents had gotten one without my permission, and I was already fed up with SMB's administration even then. That was the end of it for me. In the rare occasions I ended up going to this or that event or place, no one asked me for my card or harassed me when I did not have it.
Actually, a lot of this is attitude. If you show you don't care and are not frightened of the mad mullahs, they become very submissive and docile. If you show fear and undue respect, they will boss you around. My life has just gotten better since I realized, at an early age, that organized religion is a farce, and that petty tyrants try to gain control of a community to increase their own power and wealth. All their fatuous speeches about spirituality, religiosity etc are just empty words. As Al-Ma'ari said:
"O fools, awake! The rites you sacred hold
Are but a cheat contrived by men of old,
Who lusted after wealth and gained their lust
And died in baseness—and their law is dust."
