Then yes, it does affect them as well, I don't understand how people are so dumbfounded by that fact.
The only way Stats Can manages to make it seem like Quebec is more Christian than most provinces is by asking a biased question.
In the census:
`What is this person's religion?
Indicate a specific denomination or religion even if this person is not currently a practising member of that group.`
Well, considering our Catholic history and the fact that children were pretty much all getting baptized until the 90s, what do you think is the answer to that?
For this law specifically, it didn't when it was first proposed. I was living in Montreal at the time and there were protests. The provincial government said the cross is "not a religious symbol" or something similar.
So that's a lie...
"I was living in Montreal at the time"
Buddy, I've been living in Quebec longer than the average user on here has been alive and politics is one of my main interests in life.
They didn't want to remove the cross in the national assembly at first but they never considered the cross to not be a religious sign for the public servants mentioned in the law's text.
The Australian census has a similar question. "None" is not an option, though I don't think it's a mandatory question (though it's hard to get meaningful data out of blank versus a stated "none")
