Is 'no religion' a new religion? : Comments

By Spencer Gear, published 19/7/2016

The ABS's 'no religion' category on the Census is parallel to labelling a fruit cake as a no-cake for public display and use.

Attention fruitcakes. Lemmy at that alter wine! Drink Sevenhill Wine and Spirit-uals.

The Sevenhill Centre of Ignatian Spirituality provides a unique setting for prayer and contemplation within the tranquil surroundings of the oldest winery in South Australia's Clare Valley. Established in 1851, Sevenhill is the birthplace of the Jesuits in Australia.

Sevenhill Cellars, St Aloysius' Church and the College building remain today as integral parts of the Jesuit community, with the Sevenhill property regarded as a site of spiritual and historic significance.

When the census comes to our house the very first question I will answer will be to say I have no religion at all.
This question is long overdue on our census and I am sure it will show the long expected results that our country is now far more secular minded than Christian minded...and will hopefully lead to some welcome changes in our Government's way of thinking.
Especially the far-right loonie-toons...

Susieonline, Cobber, you worship the state. In case you haven't notice, You consider it a moral superbeing, with aims of its own, over and above society, consider it can magically make scarcity disappear, cure the sick, balance the ecology, fine-tune the temperature of the globe to the correct temperature, (to be determined by the State of course, who else?) and believe it legitimises violence.

That's religion. In fact it's the worst religion of all. The violence of the theists is nothing compared to the violence of the statists. Part of the vicious brainwashing of your religion is that you don't recognise violence as violence when the state does it.

Australia is a secular Nation.

The religious micro minority simply cannot accept this.

Personally . I cannot believe , that in this enlighten Age, a few people still believe in fairy tales ..AND .. expect the rest of us to follow suit.

Dear Aspley,

«Australia is a [...] Nation.»

A few people still believe in fairy tales ..AND .. expect the rest of us to follow suit.

Australia is a continent!

JardineKJardine, how clever you are to know exactly how I think, and even going so far as to neatly itemise my thoughts on the Government. You couldn't be more wrong.

The Webster dictionary tells us the definition of religion: "...: the belief in a god or in a group of gods. : an organized system of beliefs, ceremonies, and rules used to worship a god or a group of gods."
As I don't believe in imaginary gods of any sort, then I don't follow or belong to any religion.
Simple really.
