Answer 1

Christianity is the highest at 67 percent, followed by Buddhism and Islam both at around 1.5 percent. In-between Christianity and the other religions, around 18.7 percent of Australians have no religion. Of the Christian denominations, the Catholic Church is the largest, followed by the Anglican, and the Uniting Church. Australia is an open/democratic multi race society. ALL religions are welcomed and most are represented. The majority religions are Christian.

Answer 2

Christianity is the largest faith system in Australia.

New census data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics 2012 indicates that Christians now form 61.1% of the population, with Buddhists at 2.5% and Muslims at 2.2%.

Catholics make up 25.3% of the population, Anglican 17.1%, Uniting Church 5.0%, Presbyterian and Reformed 2.8%, Baptist 1.6%, Lutheran 1.2%, Pentecostal 1.1%, Eastern Orthodox - 2.6%, Other Christians 4.5%.

Also, in Australia there is a very small percentage of the traditional indigenous people who have their own spirituality which does not fit into any of the above categories (except "unspecified").

22.3% of the population described themselves as having no religion, including 28% of people aged 15-34. 'Not stated' is not yet available.

It is important to note that Australia has no official state recognised religion and freedom of religion is guaranteed by the constitution. Some Australians do not identify with any particular religious faith and may describe themselves as spiritual, agnostic or atheist.
