Talk:Religion in Australia

message: The article mentions 25% of Australians being Catholic and 25% of Australian schools being affiliated with the Catholic church but the news.au link it cites for that only contains the first part, not mentioning schools at all. Where does this info come from? Klarbohydrate (talk) 05:31, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  No source for amount of Catholic schools 

message: ::::::It appears that Catholics are the largest formal Christian cohort in Australia. Perhaps St Patrick's, Sydney is a more appropriate image, since the building is the largest Christian structure in Australia. Any particular reason that St. Paul's has been used? I'm of neither faith, if that helps. Hanoi Road (talk) 23:40, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

message: Reading through this article, it could be said that it does not follow the standard encyclopedic tone, especially in the lead. Such sentences like this one, "Historically the percentage was far higher; now, the religious landscape of Australia is changing and diversifying" seem bulky and look like something that would be written in an essay. Reading through the first paragraph, it also seems that the lead is kind of a slam piece on Christianity (like in the example above). As such, I believe the lead needs to be re-written. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 22:03, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I would agree that's poorly written, but surely it's accurate. Hardly a slam piece. HiLo48 (talk) 06:24, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

message: Te expression "fastest growing" is used five times in this article. I wish it wasn't. It's an ambiguous expression at best. A religion with one member who talks someone else into joining with him has a growth rate of 100%, making it the fastest growing religion in Australia. I will try to find better wording for those sections. If anyone else wants to try, please do so. HiLo48 (talk) 01:18, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fastest growing 

message: Catholic and Protestant are different grouping on their census and the first sentence mention Christianity as the largest religion in Australia. Changing the pie on the census is not accurate. Changes to the grouping should be made for next census relating to results. Doremon764 (talk) 20:07, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: @Doremon764 your comment was very confusing.  What exactly is the problem and what exactly is your suggested solution? Erp (talk) 00:01, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Erp sorry bout that. Was talking about the old graph, but the new pie does relate to the newest pole. Doremon764 (talk) 01:46, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger of Christianity in chart Vs Census 

message: A claim about the proportions of Australians who ARE Protestant/Evangelical or Catholic has just been added to the article, based on an IPSOS poll. My concern is twofold. What was the actual question asked? The survey results don't say. The wording of a question can make a huge difference to poll results. And how reliable is the poll? All we seem to have is the claim from IPSOS itself in the survey saying that "Samples in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, and the U.S. can be considered representative of their general adult populations under the age of 75." Can be considered by whom? IPSOS? HiLo48 (talk) 04:26, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
