They define this as "Persons who stipulated on the census form: 'No religion no further details', 'Agnosticism', 'Atheism', 'Humanism' and 'Rationalism'". I can remember seeing at least some of these options included on the census last time though I don't recall the exact form of the question. <br /><br />Newtown has the highest percentage of "no religion" at 39.3%. Nationally "no religion" is 22.3% and growing but in NSW it is only 17.9%.

It is difficult for many to realise that inner city voters are mostly social progressives and not religious conservatives. Especially, those of us babyboomers that were forced to go to Sunday School and now couldn't care less about any religious organisation. To get the 'so-called' atheist demographic figures 'The Australian' must have used the census figures but that surely would reveal the 'no religion' figures only. What a joke. Are all Green voters 'atheists'? How the hell do they know that? I am sure there would be plenty of Labor and Coalition voters who have 'no religion' as well. Isn't that demographic getting towards 1 out of 4 of the population and growing.BRENTONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05209051549953833708noreply@blogger.com
