最新人口普查展现了更多同性结婚和宗教被日渐抛弃
Posted on 21 June 2012
Results from the 2011 Australian Census have been released today, with data showing 1338 Australian same-sex couples (nearly 2,700 people) have travelled overseas to marry, while 32,377 (almost 65,000 Australians) are in de facto relationships and prevented from marrying, if they wish.
2011年人口普查结果显示，1338对（差不多2700人）出国举行了同性恋婚礼！（因为同性婚姻在澳洲不被承认，所以这些人只能出国结婚）
32,377对（将近65,000人）在de facto 状态（澳洲承认的一种同性伴侣关系）
This is the first time the Australian Bureau of Statistics has recorded same-sex marriages in Census data.
澳洲每5年进行一次人口普查，已经进行有100多年了，这还是首次在人口普查中增加了对同性婚姻的统计。
“The fact that at least 1338 same-sex couples have gone to the great lengths to marry overseas shows how deeply they value marriage,” Australian Marriage Equality national convenor Alex Greenwich said.
“As someone who recently married overseas I understand how painful it is that my solemn vow of lifelong commitment counts for more in a foreign country than it does in the country of which I am a citizen.
Greenwich also cautioned that the Census figures significantly underestimated the number of same-sex couples who are in overseas marriages.
这一统计还不包括生活在海外的已经结婚的同性伴侣（因为澳洲不承认同性婚姻，所以一些同性伴侣选择移居海外）。
Among the other significant changes since the 2006 Census is the increase in people identifying as having ‘No Religion’.
Nearly 5 million people (22.3 percent of Australians) now have no religious affiliation, making it the second largest religious preference in the country, second only to Catholicism at just under 5.5 million (25.3 percent) – which dropped by more than 300,000 people since 2006.
无宗教信仰人士的比例正在逐年增加，目前有将近 5M 人声称没有宗教信仰，占人口总数的 22.3%，这一人群在澳洲占很大比例，仅次于天主教徒。
目前澳洲第一大宗教依然是天主教，天主教徒为5.5M人，占人口总数的四分之一，但是天主教徒的人数也在准年减少。
The next three highest religions – Anglican, Uniting and Presbyterian – also saw losses in membership.
The Atheist Foundation of Australia launched an online campaign last year to encourage people whose faith had lapsed to make it official by marking ‘No Religion’ in the Census.
其他宗教人口的比例也在逐年降低，无神论的人数则逐年增加。作者: choz 时间: 25-6-2012 02:01

5年少了30万，下一次普查天主教只能排第二了吧作者: xblues 时间: 25-6-2012 17:10
