Default Re: Census - religion question

This from the Humanist Society, puts the case clearly as to why, if you are not religious, you should say so on the census. If you don't actively state you are non religious, they will assume you ARE.

In my opinion, it DOES matter tat we answer the questions truthfully and accurately

I flatly refuse to believe that any of this nonsense will improve anything.
But neither are you creating other productive, tax paying citizens who will add to the pot...

It won't improve anything but it will give future historians something to think about.
Even if they do completely misinterpret it and really think people believed more in a film from the 70s and not spot that it's a general p*ss take out of the census system and a cynical attitude towards religion among a large proportion of the population.
