Do you seriously think you're going to get away with that one?
According to the latest census, sixty one percent of Australians are christian, not fucking ten percent.

You then go on to assume that no other religion is practiced in Australia, and I simply cannot understand why you'd do that in general, let alone in a multicultural country like Oz. And finally, you assume that the irreligious constitute the rest of the population, which again, is a completely unjustified and unfathomable leap.The 61% Christian is one of those figures that bears no resemblance to the actual number of people who take their faith seriously and practice it daily. If a guy who was born Catholic, never goes to Church and doesn't believe in God, goes out and bashes a transsexual, is it reasonable to call that religious violence?
You kinda fucked up on this one, son. Again.
25% of Australia's population is Catholic. Of that, about 10-13% attend Mass each week. Of that number, a significant proportion would be bench-warmers. So you can see how the numbers of "fair-dinkum" Christians in this country is actually very low. Certainly nothing like 61%
