The number of Christians in Australia falls, Sikh Hinduism and Islam rise

Australia's religious beliefs continue to change, with more and more people believing in Sikh, Hinduism and Islam.

According to the 2016 census, almost 1/3 Australians say they do not believe in faith, but many believe they still have a spiritual life.

The number of Christians fell sharply, from 96.9% in 1921 to 52% today. But the number of Sikhs and Hindus has risen steadily.

In 2011, there were three hundred and fifty thousand Hindus and Sikhs.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics census found that the number rose by more than two hundred thousand people in 2016, while 80% of believers were born overseas.

Data show that children whose parents do not have religious beliefs are almost certainly not religious, and children from religious families are not as religious as previous generations.

Many post-zero people and vegetarians turn to meditation and other things that have a positive effect on physical and mental health.

They draw inspiration in many ways, and many don't think they should be tied to a particular religion.

Sikh and Hinduism are booming in the west of Sydney, especially in Parramatta, Rosehill, Glenwood and Harris Park.

The number of Islam Christians has also risen rapidly, second only to Hinduism.

It was also in Granville, Guildford, Lakemba and Auburn, west of Sydney, that the number of Islam believers surged.

Meanwhile, Sydney's Newtown and Enmore regions have the largest number of residents who say freedom has no particular religion.

The growing selection of "no religion" does not mean that people are atheistic, but that the younger generation generally accepts multiculturalism and multi-beliefs.

Religious relevance has become less important, especially among young people.
