UK Pagans only - Write 'pagan' on your Census form

[Neil]

OK, I know most pagans, including me, hate being labelled but I would urge UK pagans to write 'pagan' as their religion in the 2011 Census.

Unfortunately, we will again be consigned to the 'other' category, so I believe it is vital, in possibly the last ever census, that we give ourselves the best chance of official recognition by making sure our numbers are not diluted by the various paths that we tread. If you want to write 'Wiccan', 'Druid', 'Heathen' or whatever, why not write 'Pagan-Wiccan', etc.

In 2001, counting all pagan paths together would have added up to 40,000 members. The 2011 figures are likely to constitute official statistics for the foreseeable future so let's unite this once and go back to being our merry individual selves after.

I wish we'd get that facility in Canada.

Out of curiosity, if you goe to court what book would you swear on?

I'd double check that link, it seems to lead to a Chinese website now.

Because the census has already been taken, and the campaign no longer valid, the website is no longer needed.

I don't swear on any book; it is acceptable to make an affirmation without using a book.

That seems much more sensible.
