RELIGION
Introduction to Religion in Australia - "Australians pride themselves on the fact that they are one of the more, if not the most, religion tolerant nation in the world. This is mainly due to the laid back, easy going lifestyle they live. Also there is no official religion in Australia. In fact, when immigrants come they are encouraged to keep their religion and culture".
