dramatically since 1945.

adherents since 1947 o Fallen from 39.0%
(1947) to 20.5% (2001)

- PARAGRAPH 3: INCREASE
THE PERCENTAGE OF NON
RELIGIOUS
- The significant drop in the numbers of
people regularly attending religious
services should be read in conjunction
with the substantial trend in the increasing
numbers of people writing "No Religion"
or "Religion Not Stated" in the census.
- Those ticking No Religion has rad
from 0.3% (1947) to15.5% (2001)
- Furthermore, the percentage of the
population that classify themselves as
non religious has increased from 15% to
22% in the last 10 years alone.
- The significant drop in the numbers of
people regularly attending religious
services should be read in conjunction
with the substantial trend in the increasing
numbers of people writing "No Religion"
or "Religion Not Stated" in the census.
- INTRODUCTION: Through the
examination of statistical data it is
profoundly evident that there has
been a shift in the patterns of
religious adherence from 1945 to
the present day.
- CONCLUSION: Therefore, large, traditional Christian churches
such as The Church of England (Anglicans) have lost large
members due to ageing population and low birth rates, switching
and movement to ‘no religion', encompassed by an ever changing
plurality of religious systems in Australia.
