Neither do I except on this forum.
Australia is one of the most secular nations on earth. Religion simply doesn't come up. Believing Aussies tend to go to church for hatchings, matchings and despatchings.
Since my devout Catholic Mother died 2 years ago, there have been no believers in my life. The only time mum and I spoke about religion it was obliquely. Eg She didn't like Pope John Paul 11 because she thought he was reactionary. Didn't like the next one , Pope Benedict XV1 because she thought he was unpleasant. Quite liked the current one. She also saw through the most senior Catholic cleric in Australia at the time, referring to him as "that slimy George Pell"
