How religion rises and falls in Australia

The dynamics of religion in Australia has changed drastically and whilst religious affiliation has declined, religion holds a place in Australian society. In the 2011 census, Australia became both less religious and more religious with young people in particular, stating that they are not affiliated with a religion.
