The latest census results are out and the number of Australians who selected “no religion” has risen again to 38.9%, up from 30.1% in 2016.
This makes them the second-largest “religious group” after Christians, who make up 43.9% of the population, down from 52.1% in 2016.
Australia is often described as a secular country and this ongoing movement from religion to “no religion” is one way this manifests.
