Australia’s Shifting Religious Landscape

Recent data from the ABS indicates that, following Christianity, the most prevalent faiths in the country are Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, accounting for 3.2%, 2.7%, and 2.4% of the population, respectively. These figures contribute to the expanding segment of those who identify with other religions.

Growth Over Time

Since 1971, the proportion of Australians subscribing to religions beyond the traditional Christian denominations has experienced significant growth. Back then, individuals identifying with alternative faiths made up just 0.8% of the population. By 2021, that number had surged to 10%, reflecting a notable shift in religious affiliation across the country.
