Apr 10: Religion Declining

Decline of Religion
According to Catholic survey.

A new survey of religion in Australia, carried out by National Church Life Survey, part of the Australian Catholic University, indicated that fifty-nine per cent of Australians say "they believe in God or a higher power is the lowest its been in the last few decades".

39% identified as either agnostic or atheist (19 per cent agnostic, 20 per cent atheistic). Fifty-nine per cent, of Australians "say they believe in God or a higher power". 

Let's see how that compares with the Australian Census figures, due out over the next few months and beginning tomorrow. They are right that religion is declining but  I suspect they have over-estimated their own support a little bit.

Above us only sky...

The glory of the 'heavens' above us are real, their starry splendour is visible to those who look up; but the glory of 'Heaven' is a sad delusion of human minds.
This is the personal blog site of an atheist astronomer.

Wise words

"It’s time to refuse to tiptoe around people who claim respect or special treatment on the grounds that they have a religious faith, as if having faith were a privilege endowing virtue — as if it were noble to believe in unsupported claims & ancient superstitions”"
A.C. Grayling
