A huge Good Without God poster revealing the large number of Scots who believe they can be Good Without God was unveiled in Glasgow today, Monday 13th September, by the Humanist Society of Scotland (HSS).
The poster site is at the junction of Paisley Road West and Edmiston Drive, near Ibrox Stadium, on the route that the Pope will take to Belllahouston Park.
HSS Convenor Juliet Wilson and other office bearers of the society were there for a live press conference as the figure was revealed.
“8 out of 10 Scots believe the state should not pay for the Pope’s visit,” said Juliet Wilson, “And 4 out of 5 Scots have no interest in what he does while he’s in our country. Rather than protest, we’re taking the opportunity to do something constructive, by revealing the official number of people who are non-religious in Scotland.
As you can see, the figure is high, but we believe it’s higher still.
So we’re asking the people of Scotland to say what they really believe.
Government policy in many areas is based on what the Census tells them about religious belief.
The next census is only a few months away, in February of next year. What we’re saying to the Scottish people is, if you’re not religious, for God’s sake say so!
Join our campaign, and when the 2011 Census comes round, we’ll remind you to put a big tick in the ‘No religion’ box.”
