The Changing Face of Religion in Australia

[SYZ]

This is an extremely in-depth (and lengthy!) report about
current religious views in Australia.    Don't be put off by
its length though, as a lot of it is presented as infographics.
Although it's widely comprehensive, I actually—as a mature,
lifelong atheist—disagree with many of the data points.

The Changing Faith Landscape of Australia.

When it uses the term "builders", apparently they're the
demographic whose preference for reverence per se
is based on an overemphasis on the transcendence of God.

Hinduism (of all religions!) is the third largest religion
in Australia consisting of more than 684,002 followers,
making up 2.7% of the population as of the 2021 census.

It's also the fastest growing religion in Australia—mostly
through immigration.

And as for assimilation?  English (at 13.0%) is the third most
common language spoken by Australian Hindus, behind
Hindi (at 22.7%) and Nepali (at 16.3%).

Do you have Australians bitching about them learning English like we have with Spanish speakers?  Just curious.  At one point a few years ago, our wonderful Republican politicians were pushing for English to be the official language and no more government forms in Spanish and English.  It died on the vine, thankfully.

This is an illegal sign at a polling booth for our
2019 federal election;  it's Chinese, and was
deemed too similar to an official AEC sign next
to it. It was encouraging non-English speakers
to vote Liberal—in breach of AEC regulations.

I'd be happy to take as many Hindus as you can spare.  Thin out our nutter Christians and Muslims.
