![… come next Tuesday these friends of mine - lapsed Catholics one and all - will eagerly record their religion in the census.
… It's about strategy, not salvation. Their only belief is that their children should attend a well-funded private Catholic school.
In the same way they have those kids baptised by a priest, the census is another box to tick.
… at a time when the number of Australians identifying as religious is in freefall, … why should it play any role in influencing how governments allocate billions of taxpayer dollars on education?
… in a nation now abandoning the gods it seems absurd that state and federal governments continue funding significant parts of our education system according to the religious affiliation of various schools.
Governments should be neutral on this issue. Their sole responsibility should be funding education, not theology. … Maths before mass. Now there's a bumper sticker ...

But the data gets more interesting the deeper you dig.

… Educating our children is a public [matter] and among the most important responsibilities of any government.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zktxpckkp2fcezzgxnbxl3ql/bafkreiampdfgiyovru2ilo3qkh3dhdwrrfu46harf3sqvgrhzvnullpl5a)
