There has been a great deal of talk about the “quiet revival” in the UK, but has it arrived in Australia?

Like the UK, there has been a lot of discussion and numerous articles and anecdotes that this is indeed the case. The statistical evidence has come through the McCrindle Research 2025 report – An Undercurrent of Faith: Australia’s Renewed Relationship with Christianity. McCrindle is an excellent research organisation with a good track record.

In summary, the report indicates that whilst the number of people affiliating with Christianity has declined from 52% in 2016 to 44% in 2021, nearly 785,000 Australians who previously identified as having “no religion” in 2016 reported Christianity as their faith in 2021.
