Thirty-nine per cent of Australians now identify as non-religious, up from 30 per cent in 2016 and almost double the 22 per cent of Australians who ticked the “no religion” box a decade ago.

In the mid-1960s, less than 1 per cent of people in Australia identified as having no religion.

A blip indeed. Statistically their grandchildren are likely to be non-religious, good chance of being atheist.
