This is much higher than the Australian Bureau of Statistics figure. Those reporting no religion increased noticeably from 19 per cent in 2006 to 30 per cent in 2016.
If the commentators to this On Line Opinion piece state which category they belong to, this writer promises to tally the results in a week, or by the 30th. response, and give the results in the 31st. comment.
