A surprise.... Destiny is not unrelated to what one's thoughts and actions are in the now....day by day.... We are now, a result of the past....we will be in the future, a result of now. So if one practices a life devoted to the realization of a 'peace that passes understanding'...a big surprise awaits as your destiny...

No...a belief in God will not cut it....one needs to transcend conceptualization and deal with ultimate reality itself....not the verbal interpretation, description, or explanation thereof...
Fair enough, I suppose. Not sure what you actually expect me to do, or why you assume I did not. But there is little point to worrying about it.

With people like former PM Tony Abbott, I would have to beg to differ about the "intelligent" part.
And looked at how many people voted for him, and got screwed.

Do really intelligent people take politics seriously....given the systemic corruption of government generally? 'Honest government' is an oxymoron...

The statistics are a bit iffy in that people will report a religion even if they don't really believe it. So it is a very rough figure to start with. I think people are just becoming more outspoken of their non belief and not identifying as belonging to a belief system. Hope that makes sense.

I think it is politicized in that lefties do not want to be seen on the same side as the center/right God believers and will not report a religion, (also the non-denominational)....even though they have religion....
Not seeing much evidence of it, myself.

I would rather not have a moron racist as a head of government. That's a terrible combination.
I didn't say anything about "honest" government...but since you have brought up, he is also dishonest as well as bloody stupid PM, who done so many backflips, that you would think he was a circus. And I hate clowns.

What I have seen is that the fastest religion in Australia is the pub, and what a religion, yea baby.

Hi
I was just looking at the Australian Bureau of Statistic figures, as we have just completed the 2016 Australian census.
Here are the results for 1911 - 2011.
The results for 2016 should be available in a month or two where I suspect the figure will exceed 30% at the expense of the traditional mythologies.
Graph of proportion of population choosing "No Religion" as their religion.
Is this a similar pattern in your region?
If not why?
Cheers
That doesn't mean that they are siding with Atheism. Right? Please
No-religion is not a synonym of Atheism. Is it? Please
Regards

In Canada, there's a bit of a controversy around the religion question on the census. Here, it instructs people to respond with the religion they were raised in even if they no longer attend services, unless they've converted to another religion, so there are concerns that our "nones" are under-reported.Hi

- If a separate column is introduced with the name "Atheism" and people opt for it, then it will reflect distinctively, if there is a rise or fall of it and its magnitude at a point of time and of others also.

Church attendance in the UK continues to shrink, as does belief in God. Many people worship at supermarkets on a Sunday these days.
Who may tell? Atheism has so little consequence that many people may fail to notice it, even in themselves.
Indeed, it is not the same thing, not by a long shot.

Atheism/Agnosticism/Scepticism deny that they are religions, so it does not show that they are growing as a religion. Right? Please
