Nice to see that No Religion has increased by nearly 9% in just 5 years.
And now fewer than half the population are Christian.

we agree but with wariness that it represents merely “No Official Slash Traditional Religion” rather than actual improvement in thought criticality

It should have a box lipservice religious just in case, but don’t go to church or follow any of its laws suggestions

So that’s something to be glad about.
Isn’t it?
“While fewer people are reporting their religion as Christian, more are reporting ‘no religion’. Almost 40 per cent (38.9 per cent) of Australia’s population reported having no religion in the 2021 Census, an increase from 30 per cent (30.1 per cent) in 2016 and 22 per cent (22.3 per cent) in 2011.”
Interesting to see if that equates to more funding for non religious based counselling and support services.
weren’t immoral Labor doing something evil with that school chaplaincy program thing

I suppose that could be a religion if they think money created the universe and everything in it, and if they are good they will go and live with money for eternity.

Wouldn’t that come under Liberal party.
I was thinking some religions boast of the numbers but how many actually are active vs just put it down on a form but don’t actually take part.

I think 40% saying “no religion” is pretty good, considering the rarely stated but still widespread belief that atheism is evil, and everyone is “spiritual” whether they follow a religion or not.

I think it was them in WA that made religious education compulsory in primary school and it was opt out
Not sure though

On 7 September 2011, Peter Garrett, Education Minister in the Gillard Government, announced a number of changes in NSCP. New chaplains were to be required to have a “Certificate IV in Youth Work, Pastoral Care or an equivalent qualification”, while previously no formal qualifications were required. The changes also offered schools the option to employ, instead of “a religious support worker” (chaplain), a “secular student well-being officer”, following concerns over the appropriateness of having a religious worker in a public school. Previously schools were only able to hire a secular welfare worker under the programme if they could demonstrate that their efforts to find an ordained chaplain had failed. On 27 September 2013 there were 2,339 chaplains and 512 student welfare workers employed under NSCP.

I’d say there there are still a lot of people that identify as “religious” even though they are non-practicing just because of stupid reasons like “that’s what my parents would want”

Lapsed Catholics.
Yes I was thinking them in particular.
It does do funding disservice if you are lazy and don’t change it when you are only that religion from childhood or default as its a family thing.

True
on the other hand “no religion” is not to say “not spiritual” and some steps from frank ideological atheism
Don’t understand how people of Australian ancestry jumped from 927,490 to 7,596,753 in five years.

Does seem a little odd.
Did they change the definition of “ancestry”?
I take the long term view myself, so I have African ancestry.

I don’t suppose there was an Africa back then, but I haven’t traced that far back yet.

I can’t remember how the question was worded. But I recall having to tick a number of boxes, even though I had to go back several generations to find that ancestry. Perhaps people just read it that if their parents were born here they were of Australian ancestry. Whereas I didn’t read it that way.

That’s the number of caravans being lived in on census night. The Total number of caravans would likely be far higher.

The Catholic and Anglican churches call these people “missing”. Based on their own numbers they only see about 10-15%of those numbers on a regular basis compared to what the Census reports.
But I am surprised at the number of “no religions” this time, and the big jump in numbers. Given that there was no campaign this time around to promote the NR cause.
Also surprised that Millennials are such a large cohort.
Seems like Gen X never got our time in the sun, went straight from Boomer dominant to Millennial dominant.
