43. Less than 10% of the Australian population attends
religious services, out of those the numpty brigade is an even smaller minority.

A politician that talks about God will find it hurts him/her rather than helps. Being an atheist would not hurt someone's political ambitions at all.

Apart from the Exclusive Brethren we're pretty free of religious nutters here.

I'm also a UK citizen and it's much the same there. It's much the same in all of the developed world. The US lines up with places like Afghanistan and Saudi on questions of "do you believe in an all powerful god" and "will people who do not follow god's laws be punished after death".

It's very very weird.
