Some detailed analysis of the 2006 census results concerning religious affiliation in Melbourne -
http://www.theage.com.au/national/the-changing-face-of-faith-in-melbourne-20080606-2my4.htmlMelbourne has a lower proportion of people identifying as 'Christian' than the national average - 59% compared with almost 64% - and this proportion appears to be shrinking rapidly. Hopefully the figure will dip below 50% within the next decade.
13% 'declared atheists' is also a pleasing sign. Add this figure to all the undeclared atheists out there and you're probably looking at something around one-quarter of Melbourne's population.
