BTW religion is not declining in .au
"No religion/Religion Not Stated''
2006 - 30.6%
2011 - 22.3%
I am not sure where you got that information from, but the "No religion" in: (Australian census Link)
2006 was 18.7%
2011 was 22.3%
All the christian religions were down from the 2006 census.
I got the 2006 info from the ABS census site too.
"No religion/Religion Not Stated''
2006 - 30.6%
2011 - 22.3%
I included the religion ''Not Stated" numbers which is a 2006 Census option that was absorbed/replaced by "No Religion" in 2011.
Total # Christians in 2011 up 3.6% from 2006
Total population growth during that period up 8.3%
And you can bet that atheists arent contributing as much as theists to the population growth in .au
Was it Eric Kaufmann who said the contraceptive pill is like cyanide for atheism?
