» redback - Hope For Us Yet

Twas hard to snapshot independently as some stats were confusing. Here's the newspaper report I relied on for the changes in religions:
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/sto...

The rate of change probably relates to our migration policies and acceptance of Buddhist refugees. Buddhists now = 2% for context + the Dalai visited in 2007 and was received by the Prime Minister. Muslim papers report us shunning marriage and God so what sort of 'moral high ground' reaction expected? Plus, we now include a test for future migrants so who knows how it will all now trend.

Apparently, 64% identified as Christian. The USA's Christian population in 2001 was nearly 80% and falling???

These are all national figures. I guess like your Bible Belt, there's an uneven spread, greater concentrations from city to city. (Unrelated but single mums nationally are about 16% but it's 25% locally)
