ALMOST 15,000 people have joined an Atheist Foundation of Australia push to mark "no religion" on the August 9 census.
The foundation has begun unveiling billboards across the country urging people to join their campaign to take the religion out of politics.

In Queensland there are two billboards - on Breakfast Creek Rd, Newstead and Fairfield Rd, Yeerongpilly.

Thousands have also pledged to mark "no religion" in a Facebook campaign asking Australians to question whether they hold religious beliefs.

AFA president David Nicholls said many people simply marked down the religion they were born into, despite not now being religious people at all.

He said the transfer of taxpayer money to religious organisations was justified on the basis of the census results, as were special concessions and exemptions including the right to discriminate against some groups.
