We took in a lot of Vietnamese.
And a lot of lebs are christians.
Still trouble though.
And another thing:
Religion is barely existent.
Church attendence is nearly zero.
During the last census they had to specificially tell people not to put down joke religions so we don't up as a "Pastafarian" or "God emperor" religion nation.
The shit posting knows no ends
Like how New Zealand technically has a higher Jedi than anything else population.
Even when muh nigga God is involved
Mate, if god can't take a laugh then I don't want him.
Also there's always the issue of if we should leave the commonwealth.
Does he like to be know as Allah or God though?

Biggest issue is what to replace the Union jack with if we did.
I hate when people call me the wrong name
Nicknames are so common as to be default here.
Even which it doesn't make much sense.
Mark called "marky"
Marlon called "Marlo", just constant stuff like that.
I meant it as more of a cultural thing. I'd rather have Christians than Muslims.
The Lindt cafe hit us really hard.
And support for Pauline hanson is growing.
I'll have to look that up
The muslim communities are scary.
Lindt cafe?
Yes
Sexy
@Tee CA Some ISIS cunt took hostages in the middle of Sydney, like stones throw from a major transtation in a lindt cafe.
We don't have seiges, we don't have armed gunmen, we don't have hostages.
Ah, terrorists gonna terrorize
Some people died, the cops hadn't dealt with this since before they were cops.
And then there was a few attempted police station beheadings and New Years bombings.
We take great pride in our new years in Sydney.
Insist we have the best fireworks in the world.
It just keeps going. I'm not too familiar with the msulim attacks outside of Europe and US
Australia's sons let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in Nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In hist'ry's page, let ev'ry stage
Advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair.
Verse 2
When gallant Cook from Albion sailed,
To trace wide oceans o'er,
True British courage bore him on,
Til he landed on our shore.
Then here he raised Old England's flag,
The standard of the brave;
"With all her faults we love her still"
"Britannia rules the wave."
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.
Verse 3
While other nations of the globe
Behold us from afar,
We'll rise to high renown and shine
Like our glorious southern star;
From England soil and Fatherland,
Scotia and Erin fair,
Let all combine with heart and hand
To advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.
Verse 4
Should foreign foe e'er sight our coast,
Or dare a foot to land,
We'll rouse to arms like sires of yore,
To guard our native strand;
Britannia then shall surely know,
Though oceans roll between,
Her sons in fair Australia's land
Still keep their courage green.
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair
This was our first national anthem.
We've been moving away from the Commonwealth in favour of America after they kept fucking us over in the World wars.
Vietnam fucked us of being an American colony, and we don't really have much culture of our own that we're allowed to discuss without breaking free speech laws (Eureka revolt is seen as the equivalent of the confederacy) so we're kinda in a deadzone.
