Undoubtedly, Australian values reflect those of the Christian faith & I agree, if you had to identify Australians with a religion, Christianity would win hands down. My point is that a politician, took it upon himself to declare Australia as officially agnostic. I'm not going to argue the virtues or dangers of such a proclamation, but merely wished to point out that people of any chosen faith see Australia as a place where they believe they can worship without any hinderence or fear. That, to me, is a good thing. Sadly though, it can be used against us by the unscrupulous.

Further to that, would you say Britain was a Christian country? It may be officially (I don't know) but very soon, the population will comprise more than 50% of people that practice Islam!! As my old Mum says;"Where is the white mans country?"
