Do you think you know how religious Australians are? (All answers based on census data taken from the Australian Bureau of Statistics)

Which of these religious denominations has the most followers in Australia as of 2016?
Sikhism
Islam
Judaism
Buddhism
Hinduism
On the 2016 census 604,200 Australians answered that they were Muslims. The next closest to this figure was Buddhism, with 563,700, followed by Hinduism with 440,300, Sikhism with 125,900 and lastly the Jews, with 91,000 (112,500 if you check the CIA Factbook).
It is worth noting that census results are just a box which someone ticks on a piece of paper. A certain amount of change in numbers census to census can easily be explained by the non-devout followers of a certain faith alternating between 'no-religion' and whatever it is which they feel some kind of association with. The census makes no distinction between the devout and the lackadaisical.

Which Christian denomination has the most followers in Australia as of 2016?
Catholicism
Anglicanism
Orthodox
Uniting Church
Other (no need to specify)
Catholicism is the largest denomination of Christianity in Australia and according to census data has been since 1986, when it overtook Anglicanism. An interesting fact to note is that since then the number of Australians reporting themselves as Catholics has increased significantly (4 to 5.2 million, over 25% growth in 30 years) while the number of Anglicans has been declining almost every census (3.7 million in 1986, 3.1 in 2016). The number of Orthodox Christians has been growing steadily census by census over the years (582,800 by 2016) while the Uniting Church appears to be going through a similar phase of decline to the Anglican church (870,200 reported in 2016, down from 1,182,300 in 1986).

Which is the most common response to religion in the 2016 census (think back to the other questions to help)
Catholic
Anglican
Islam
No Religion
In 2016 7,040,700 Australians answered 'no religion' in response to being asked for their religious affiliation. Not only does this make it the most common response to the question, but also the fastest growing. In 2006 18.7% of Australians answered 'no religion', the same number answered 'Anglican' while 25.8% answered 'Catholic'. Since then 'no religion' obviously increased significantly (11.4% growth) while 'Anglican' and 'Catholic' declined by a combined share of 8.6% (5.4% and 3.2% respectively), a significant number of these lost responders likely started answering to 'no religion' instead.
