Pagans asked to "come out of the shadows" for Census

Good article in SMH today.
What do we think of the proposition - to self-nominate as "Pagan-(subset)" described in this paragraph below, from the article:
"Mr Hepworth hopes the weight of people nominating ''pagan'' as their primary faith, followed by their variant after a dash, will prompt it to be reclassified as an umbrella term by the Australian Bureau of Statistics - the first step in consolidating pagan numbers and gaining wider recognition as a legitimate religious choice."

A big yes from me on this one CB.
Oh what a wonderful world it would be where folks of our ilk can not only be accepted, but respected by broader society - and I think that the proposed census nomination option would be a great first step towards achieving this.
