Please correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a bit of a hoo haa about
the fact that the census form didn't (at least at first) have a "None" box
to tick on the religion question, and you had to tick "Other" and say
"Atheist" ???


Might be wrong, but it was a long time ago, and I put so much gobbledegook
on it, they would have been lucky even to decipher where I lived!!!
