Just something to think about on 9/8/2011...

IMPORTANT

AUSTRALIA WILL BE HOLDING A CENSUS IN AUGUST

DO NOT LEAVE THE “RELIGION” SECTION BLANK. BE SURE TO AT LEAST TICK CHRISTIAN (OR YOUR UPBRINGING FAITH).

1,000,000 MUSLIMS WILL TICK THEIR BOX.

10,000,000 AUSTRALIANS WILL LEAVE IT BLANK THEN WONDER WHY A MOSQUE IS BUILT IN THEIR NEIGHBOURHOOD!!!

Census data is used for a multitude of things, this is just one of them.

Edit: Suppose I should mention I am involved in the Census as a delivery/collect person.

i would much rather see people put their true beliefs, and if that is really nothing then all the better. Then maybe with a more accurate picture of Australian society and where we should be putting our money and how much weight to give religious views when coming to political matters. R18 rating for games anyone.

i hate the idea of people putting down something they don't really believe in just because they are scared of one faith. you should be scared of them all.

No - don't be scared of faith, be scared of religions.

I know I'm going off topic slightly but a great ted talk about religion - Islam in this instance but only a fool would believe that it doesn't apply equally to other religions.
