Why we should all put "no religion" on our census forms.

Just watched this again. In the months since I first saw it I have to say there have been few similarly short messages that make the point so well and with such clarity.

Reminds me of a quote from one of IBM's former presidents, Thomas J Watson (appointed 1915). I was unaware of this until I saw their centennial video ( /39jtNUGgmd4 at 1:18) on YT. As Watson put it, "all of the problems of the World could be settled easily if people (men) were only willing to think".

I think its important to tell the truth.

So I say put "No religion" if its the truth, otherwise ... don't. (You can choose not to answer at all - optional question)

I am an atheist and I always put "No religion".

I don't care what the humanists say... the only reason i put no religion is that I don't want to be the only country outside of Iran, that has unelected members of the clergy in government

Daniel Dennett is simply honest and that he shares in that which we each can clearly hold onto. In turn, we can share his knowledge to our friends.

@emiledingemans Apologies for not putting this in the Info. It's philosopher Daniel Dennet talking.
