Summary
A new survey reveals that 54% of Aussies say they have no religion — a stark contrast to current census data — sparking debate over how Australia counts faith. Advocates argue the current question misrepresents the nation’s spiritual landscape, with past oddities like Jedi Knights and Pastafarians highlighting how people uniquely define belief. While the ABS plans minor tweaks for 2026, campaigners are pushing for a major overhaul by 2031 to ensure accurate, future-proof data that reflects real religious identity.
