澳大利亚将于8月11日进行五年一度的人口普查1。宗教信仰问题再次成为焦点，世俗主义者呼吁改变宗教提问方式，但由于需要与往年普查数据保持可比性，这一要求未被采纳1。
最新数据反映出澳大利亚宗教信仰的显著变化趋势。基督教信徒人数在过去五年内出现明显下滑，从2016年的1210万人（占52.1%）降至2021年的1110万人（占43.9%）1。此外，2021年普查显示，有784,000名在2016年选择无宗教信仰的澳大利亚人转而认同基督教1。根据2011年普查的记录，在600万无宗教信仰者中，仅有59,000人明确认同无神论者身份1。
Australia will conduct its five-yearly national census on August 11, with religious affiliation emerging once again as a contentious topic 1. Secularists have called for changes to how the census questions religion, though such modifications have not been implemented to maintain comparability with previous census data 1.
The latest figures reveal a significant shift in Australia's religious landscape. Christian adherence dropped from 12.1 million people, representing 52.1 percent of the population in 2016, to 11.1 million people, or 43.9 percent, by 2021 1. This decline reflects a broader trend of diminishing religious affiliation across the country. The 2011 census recorded 6 million Australians with no religious belief, though only 59,000 identified explicitly as atheist 1. In the 2021 census, 784,000 Australians who had chosen no religion in 2016 subsequently identified as Christian 1.
