Mar 24: Significant drop in Australian Religious Belief

Decline of Religion
53% nominated a religion but only 17.4% go to church, as Australia prepares to enter the post-religion era.

The Roy Morgan survey found that:

Population who nominated a religion to which they belonged:

2003: 73.2%
2020: 53.4%
Drop: 19.8%

Population who described themselves as Christian:

2003: 68.1%
2020: 44.0% 
Drop:  24.1%

Population who say they regularly attend a church or other place of worship:

2003: 18.8%
2020: 17.4%
Drop:  1.4%

Population who describe themselves as having no religion:

2003: 26.0%
2020: 45.5%
Rise:  19.5%


The full data remains behind a pay wall.

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.
