| Message | At the time of the census I was at pains to point out that state policy was moving more and more secular and that we believe that people who had faith but are not particularly avid church goers felt - shall I say - under pressure to conform to secularism.... basically hiding there faith, and that is not healthy. It also did not take into account agnostics - of which we believe there are several millions: the undecided who will now get a better chance to see if religion is for them. This is also a joyous day for the more than 40 million confirmed Hosians in Baltusia who have pride in both their country and their religion and can finally see the two hand in hand again.
