'No religion' officially overtakes Christianity in New Zealand Census stats [View all]
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/no-religion-officially-overtakes-christianity-in-new-zealand-census-statsThe number of New Zealanders with 'no religion' has officially surpassed the number of people who identify as Christian in New Zealand, with a secular advocacy group calling for fewer concessions to be given to Christians.
Newly released data from the 2018 shows that 48.59 per cent of New Zealanders have 'no religion' - up from 41.92 at the 2013 Census.
The number of people identifying with a Christian faith has fallen from 47.65 per cent in 2013 to 37.31 per cent this year.
The numbers continue a trend line which has been observed over several recent Census counts.
