Australian Bureau of Statistics Continues the War on Christianity
Questions for the upcoming census are deliberately skewed against the church.
The war against Christianity in Australia continues, with the latest shot being fired by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
The ABS are currently finalising questions for the 2026 census, and changes to the question regarding religious faith are particularly telling.
As reported in today’s Australian, households will be asked of each member,
“Does the person have a religion?”
There is a tick box for “No”. But there is no box in which to tick “Yes”.
Instead, there is simply a blank space where you can manually write down your religion.
This is a major change from previous census forms, where there was a series of boxes listing eight major religions you could tick.
Rigged
The result is already obvious.
The number of invalid, indecipherable or ambiguous responses will go through the roof. And, as such, the number of people reported as being religious will drop dramatically.
The data, which will be interpreted as a major decrease in the number of Christian adherents, will then be used to undermine the influence of Christians in this country.
Blind Freddy doesn’t need to be healed by Jesus in order to see where this is going.
Marxists don’t like religion. This is another back-door moment. Another brick in the wall.
The government does not want anyone following a religion that is not aligned with its Marxist principles or the ABC (but I repeat myself).
And so the census is becoming just another tool to engineer society into the left’s chosen image.
The change is designed to reduce the number of people claiming religious affiliation so secular activists can further erode the standing of Christianity in the community.
The government can claim there is no reason for them to tolerate traditional values.
That’s the aim. After all, it was the left’s messiah, Karl Marx, who proclaimed that “religion is the opiate of the masses”.
But there is something else going on here too.
By deliberately diluting responses to the question of religious faith, the government can hide the true makeup of immigration numbers and how our culture is being transformed before our eyes. Peace be upon the prophet.

If you’re a parent or a grandparent, you probably worry about what your child or grandchild is learning at school. In the first of its kind in Australia, a survey has been launched to measure parent attitudes to Respectful Relationship sessions in schools.
More skulduggery from the left/ABS.
Thanks for exposing it James.
The irony that the ABS is going to great effort to make a statistic statistically unviable.
Thanks for bringing this to attention James.
But I disagree with your assessment that it will hide immigration: it will actually overrepresent certain orthodox beliefs by not giving a cop out “spiritual/other” for belief. This may very well boost Islam via weaker followers, Asian religions and older Christian denominations like Catholic or “Church or England” (a fast way to tell someone hasn’t attended parish in decades)
Great story!!!!
Is there no way we can nip this misinformation in the bud now?
Who employs the ABS?
Who controls the ABS and keeps it accountable?
We live under Albanese’s Communist country which is flooding the country with Moslems and hates all Christians . Thanks for informing us of this devious plot.
