Interesting. Wonder how hard it would have been to add another box underneath... or are they trying to guard against jocular census activities?

Census data is out. Biggest news so far: the percentage of self-professed Christians has dropped from 61% to 52% in just five years.

Although that decrease might have received an extra jump from the decision to move "no religion" to the top of the list, the ongoing trends make it almost certain that Australia will no longer be even nominally a majority Christian country by 2021.
