Every five years, the Census helps shape how Canada sees itself. The numbers influence public spending, policy decisions, and who governments consult. This campaign argues that when non-religious Canadians tick a religious box out of habit or family tradition, it creates a “ghost” population that doesn’t reflect reality. And when that happens, religious groups can appear larger than they are, gaining influence in areas like healthcare, education, and law.
The message is simple: if you’re not religious, say so. The 2026 Census isn’t just paperwork — it’s a snapshot that will guide decisions for years. Being honest about having no religion ensures policies reflect who Canadians actually are today. The pledge calls for a more accurate count and a more secular public square. It’s not about attacking belief. It’s about making sure data matches reality, so democracy works as it should.
