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.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics clearly does not believe that "Not Stated" was absorbed by No Religion as you and everyone else can see from above. Check my link. The only changes I made was where it says Australia I replaced with 2011(less confusion IMO) and creating spaces to form columns(That was fucking frustrating).
Quote:Total # Christians in 2011 up 3.6% from 2006Are you trying to do a "Braveheart" line where if you can't get rid of them then you breed them out(something like that anyway). So the only way theists can increase actual numbers(not percentage to the population) is through breeding and not through reasoning. I agree, poor kids not allowed to think freely, I think it's called child abuse.
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?

So next time when you reply to one of my post please make sure you are not twisting it around and trying to make out that I am giving false data. Also try to provide links to your evidence, maybe one of our links is not from Australian Bureau of Statistics.
