There was an interesting article by David Marr in the Sydney Morning Herald on 19 December. He concludes that God is not dead in Australia. Rumours of his failing powers are exaggerated. The default setting of this country is faith without belonging to a religious organisation. A recent Nielson poll suggests that Australians identify themselves strongly as believers and strongly Christian.
What was interesting was that a third of the nations atheists, agnostics and doubters have turned their back on God, but not on miracles, astrology, ESP and UFOs. So I wonder who the religious people really are!
