No, Australia does not have an official "state religion", but the country was founded on Christianity. One of the provisions in Australia's constitution is the guarantee of freedom of religion for all, so many religions are now represented.

What religion do people in Australia practice?

Australia has no official state religion and people are free to practise any religion they choose, as long they obey the law. Australians are also free not to have a religion. Australia is a predominantly Christian country, with around 64 per cent of all Australians identifying as Christians. However, most other major religious faiths are also practised, reflecting Australia's culturally diverse society.


Is it true that in Australia everyone is free to practice the religion of their choice or no religion?

In Australia (as it stands at the moment) people are free to practise any spirituality, religion, philosophy, etc they choose to, as long as it does not restrict or violate the state or federal law. The terms spirituality, religion and philosophy covers Religion, Non-Religion, New Age Religions and other spirituality and philosophies such as Scientology. It is impossible to have a fair and reasonable society if there is no freedom of religion or for that matter if religion plays a part in the government of a nation. To this end the constitution of Australia guarantees freedom of religion or no religion.
