Irish atheists want to be recognized in census

There are legally Churches of Atheism in the USA. Also considered "Non-theistic" religions by SECUS are Taoism, Buddhism, and Secular Humanism. It's all about Worldvisions and how they deliniate peoples thinking and by extension their actions.

Nicomax...I cast you to the fires of hell..hope you enjoy a very hot curry every day..ha ha

Atheists are already being recognized EVERYWHERE, they even have a dedicated holiday to celebrate their affiliation to nothing, or no one in particular. It is officially celebrated on April 1 every year! April Fools Day.

Exactly Nico. The USA census form had a lot of other extraneaous crap on it. My only answer on form was two persons. That is absolutely all the the US Constitution calls for.

Ireland should quickly rid themselves of wasteful politicians and hand back the country to the Church. Education (bring back the Brothers), hospitals (bring back the Nuns) and banks (bring back the Charities) will be better managed and staffed at considerable less cost. The Church is reinvigorating itself right now and should integrate state and church affairs completely (what a stupid mistake it was to separate). Count everybody, even the atheists, so that the Church can target them and save their souls.

Ireland should quickly rid themselves from any church control of public expenditure. The role of the church has been diminishing over the years, and complete separation from state is now in order. Count everybody, and do you really need to know what, if any, religious preference they have?
