Are Aussies religious ? Any Christians that are non-denominational ?

mostly Australians aren't religious, and in fact rate as one the countries with the highest respect for science and evolution. What do Aussie value = Aussies value the environment and Australian culture . I once thought we had a large religious  following, but recently spent a fair bit of time reading up on Australia and its politics to find that we are one of the least religious countries in the world.\n\nas for me personally - i believe our lack of religion is why this country has never been at war with itself, unlike many other countries

Yes: as a rule Christians are less moral than the average non-Christian person. Absolutely. Their morals are based on something other than morality per se.

Nope they are not when you consider that a christian is simply a follower/disciple of Jesus Christ. Also, the Bible does not mention anything about denominations. To be sure, membership of a denomination does not qualify one as a christian or for heaven.\n\nBut then, so many people have varied ideas/concepts about what it really means to follow Christ - Like the Anglican church approving homosexuality, catholics believing in Saint/Mary worship, Moonies encouraging adultery, etc to mention a few. So denominations began to form and grow depending on which one finds more convenient to follow. And sadly, people are being classified by the denominations they attend.\n\nHOWEVER, THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUTH AND ONE GOSPEL - despite the many interpretations about this Truth/gospel. How do you then know which is which? Simply follow these steps:\n\n1. Get a good Bible - I suggest King James version\n2. Prayerfully tell God to reveal His son Jesus to you and what His will for you is. Let Him know of your inadequacies in finding out all by yourself and ask for HIS help sincerely\n3. Start a daily Bible study - at least 3 chapters a day beginning from either the old  or new testament.\n4. Attend a Bible believing Church regularly; where you are not sure, continue in your local church until The Holy Spirit will, as necessary, direct your footsteps.\n5. Promise God and seek His help to walk as He directs - even when it appears such an obedience will not be convenient.\n\nSummarily, being of a particular denomination DOES not make ANYBODY a christian. Attitudes, customs, practices, beliefs, denominations, fashions - all may (and do) change, but a real (born again)christian will hold unto and stand on the UNCHANGING STANDARD of God.\n\nGod bless you good

I'm a convert - I am born to a buddhist family but I chose Jesus as my personal saviour six years ago. I don't fall into a denomination - so I guess I am non-denominational - but I am Born Again just as it is said in John 3:3. I think it is right because, this is how Jesus says is the way in the Bible and what He says goes.

As a Christian, I have to say the Christian Church.  The denomination doesn't really matter.  The differences are not of the essentials of the Christian faith level.  They are minor differences so Baptists, Presbytarians, Lutherans, Pentacostals, etc. are all part of the true Church of Jesus Christ.  I might add that Mormons, though they like to claim to be Christians, are not Christians.

Is there a such thing? I thought we all had human rights without a religious name attached. What would be a christian right? I don't think you are GRANTED a right above other people for being a religious person.

:}\nNo on the contrary.... It's cool to be a Christian now. For years people looked at you funny when you said “God Bless”, or “Have a blessed day”. Now it just   "You Too"  Now we are gaining Bible clubs in our schools and Christian coffee houses and lots of other stuff.\nIt might be starting to be socially unacceptable to be non-Christian.

I'm a Christian that does not subscribe to any denomination.\n\nWhy?\n\nI follow Christ Jesus.\n\nWho does Lutherans follow? Luther?\n\nA follower of Jesus is called a Christian, and YES, that IS in the Bible.\n\nIf you want to follow Jesus, then BE a Christian.

You are able to drink and be chrisian. I am Catholic and that is the norm when you go to parties or picnics. Baptists are not so liberal about drinking though.

Easily.  I am very spiritual but not a Christian.  Being in touch with the universe and all things doesn't mean you have to chose a religion.  Just meditate.

I am Presbyterian, a different for of Christianity. I attend a Catholic school( and have been for most of my life) and I can tell you that I agree with the Presbyterians better.\n\nwe only have communion once a month, so it doesn't get to routine.\n\nwe believe in praying directly to God, and not to the saints.\n\nWe believe that faith alone can get you into heaven, and not good works.\n\nThose are only a few for starters.

I don't know about the non-denominational churches, but the church of the Nazarene is a very down to earth church.  There is one on Old Coal Mine Rd in Littleton.  My husband was pretty wild and had never attended church before.  I was raised Baptist.  My friend told me about the Nazarene Church and we went and both of us are now members.  They are very non confrontational, non offensive and totally non-judgmental.  It is worth a try for you.  I can't vouch for the one in Littleton, but we have been members of the one in Loveland and Colorado Springs, and also one in New York and Nevada.  They are all like that.  You will feel like you belong and are so welcomed no matter what your situation.  My husband does not like to claim a denomination, he just calls himself Christian, period.  Yet he will not attend anything but a Nazarene Church.  \nIf you try it, I hope you enjoy your time there!\nGod Bless!

Yes it is!!!!!!!!!!!\nIf they are Christian because of Jesus the Christ, they must be all sinners, because Jesus preached and talked about non violence (among many other things), and lived according to that as well...\nOf course , what do we know about it?, since ever since Constantine "embraced" Catholic Religion, they´ve been chopping off the Bible to make it more "convenient" to their interests.....\nThey don´t even care about what they call the "Gnostic Gospels" that have so much info about the real thing instead.\nJesus teachings were about Love, forgiveness, understanding, loving your neigbors as you love yourself.If you loved your neigbors just as you love yourself,you wouldn´t wish dead penalty for them, because that would make absolutely no sense.\n(Would you wish death penalty for yourself or your family?)\nPeople should remember every day which one is the True Jesus , take a look inside and listen to their own hearts and sould isntead of letting Governments and huge Multinational Corporations brainwash their brains.\nUnconditional Love, folks! Practise some more!\n(Gosh, what a great discussion/ conversation we would have if you were here!)

Actually in Seattle, as in WA and OR the largest percent of people are "non-religious."  It seems like there are a lot of Christians because there are several mega churches around.  There are some very large Catholic parishes as well.  Seattle University is an excellent Catholic university.
