You guys kept this thread alive. Big ups to you!

Anyway, I went to school and studied for a few hours. We managed to cover the whole Aboriginal spirituality topic, summarise ecumenism, Jewish marriage as well as Hajj. Now all that's left to do is study the others, as well as peace, and I'm ready.

no bro if they give the census of course i would use the statistics lol But if they dont, and you dont use data, u get 2/5 max? thats harsh ..

thats how it was marked man

Also new age rejects modern materialistic views. It does not necessarily reject spirituality based on deity. Because it's new age BELIEFS, not religion so it can co-exist with other religions the same way humanism can.

Also I'll give you guys a sample answer on data. Got 5/5 for this in trials. (Note: numbers are slightly bullshitted but whatever haha)

Question - With reference to the changing patterns of religious adherence, account for the present religious landscape in Australia.

Due to Australia's changing demographics, it's religious landscape is also changing. There has been a great change from the 2001 to the 2011 census. Due to immigration and the rise of secularism, Christianity has dropped to 61% of the population with its denominations also dropping in numbers. Catholicism dropped from 27% to 25% while Protestantism dropped from 25% to 21% and Anglicanism from 21% to 17. However there has been a rise in other Christian denominations due to denominational switching such as Pentecostalism. There has also been a significant increase in other religions with the rapidly growing religion of Buddhism. Judaism grew from 0.4% to 0.5%; Islam grew to 2.5%, Buddhism to 3% and Hinduism to 2.6%. In a population of new migrants in Australia, 20% were found to be secular. These changes in numbers account for the present religious landscape in Australia, it has greatly changed.

Materialism tends to be stuff like personal possessions.

Ok so I got 5/5 in trials for the immigration question. Yes you must use stats! As spiritual being said, If you don't your limiting yourself to maybe a 3. Also I don't see why you can't use 2011 census data...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Australia#Christianity

Would it be better if I used 2011? I have already memorised all the 2011 stats lol.

Also in regards to the new age religion question, some new age religion have spiritual deities. Therefore I just used process of elimination and came to B.
From wikipedia, new age religions have an abstract view of God. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Age#Philosophy_and_cosmology

My teacher took off a mark if we didn't mention the abolishment of White Australia policies (increasing Islam and Hinduism) and the wars (increasing Judaism and Buddhism).
