Tuesday 9th August 2016 is Census Day. For the first time this year there will be a “No Religion” option. Please be careful how you answer this question.
Bear in mind that although many Australians have no religion these days, the Muslim population in Australia will all declare that they are Muslim - with bells on! - and this fact will be counted to ascertain what type of country we are in regard to religion.
Even though you may now have no religion, please consider entering the religion you were christened or born into, when answering this question. Otherwise in time Australia will officially be declared to be a Muslim country because the Australian Bureau of Statistics Census will reflect this. Just imagine the repercussions if that were to happen.
For example, if the population of a SUBURB turns up in Census 2016 as having a majority of one particular religion, that religion can ask for privileges such as building their own place of worship.
For Australia’s future, please pass this message on to your family members and friends.
