Faith in Humanity

in March 2011you will have to

complete aCensus form

Question 20 asks'What is your

religion?' Please tell it

as it is!

WHY?because

it matters

Most people in Britain do not hold

religious beliefs, but if you say in the

Census that you are Christian or of some other faith(because

that was how you were brought up) the Government will use

this to justify such things as:

the state-funding of faith schools…

compulsory acts of worship inschool assemblies …

increased religious broadcasting at the BBC …

the continuing presence of Bishops in the House of

Lords promoting their own interests …

the exclusion of Humanist voices in Parliament and

elsewhere

BHA President Polly Toynbee not allowed to appear on Radio 4’s Thought for the Day.

So, if you don’t

believe in Him…

… or him

… or him… or him

put your markwhere it counts!

the question is voluntary,

but when you fill in the Census please

answer it and if you’re not religious

for goodnesssake say

so!
