According to the ''Sydney Morning Herald'':
{{Cquote|Australia is one of the least devout countries in the Western world, although two-thirds of its population identifies itself as Christian, an international survey comparing religious expression in 21 countries has found.
Religion does not play a central part in the lives of many Australians: 48 per cent of Australians surveyed said they did not partake in personal prayer and 52 per cent said they rarely attended a place of worship for religious reasons.<ref>[http://www.smh.com.au/news/world-youth-day/gods-ok-its-just-the-religion-bit-we-dont-like/2008/07/10/1215658037568.html God's OK, it's just the religion bit we don't like]</ref>}}
In the 2011 Australian census, 22.3% of Australians (or 4,796,787 people) identified themselves as having "no religion" which was more than 3 percent higher (and 1,090,232 people more) than in the 2006 census and was the second largest category.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.censusdata.abs.gov.au/census_services/getproduct/census/2011/quickstat/0?opendocument&navpos=220 |title = 2011 Census QuickStats |date = 30 October 2012 | publisher = Australian Bureau of Statistics|accessdate = 2013-02-25}}</ref> Another 2.014 million (9.4%) were in the "not-stated or inadequately-defined" category: thus more than 31% of Australians did not state a religious affiliation in the 2011 census.<ref>[http://www.quazoo.com/q/Irreligion_in_Australia Irreligion in Ausralia]</ref>
