Religion

Religion records a person's stated religious affiliation, including no religion and not stated responses. It is a measure of cultural identity and belief rather than practice or participation.

This topic helps show the religious diversity of an area and can support planning for community facilities, faith-based services, and inclusive engagement. It is best interpreted with ancestry, birthplace, and language, which together provide a broader picture of cultural composition.

Interpretation notes

This records stated religious affiliation, not attendance or level of religious practice.
No religion and not stated are part of the overall picture, so interpretation should consider both affiliation and non-response.
