a response
The way Australians view their religious
landscape has changed dramatically due to
denominational switching, rise in secularism
and embracing new age religions. As the
stimulus material suggests, adherents have
been reconsidering their views on their chosen
religion and have been switching from one to
another. Most recently, people have been
leaving their traditional religions to move into
something more modern and dynamic, such as
the rise in Pentecostalism. There has been a
rise in secularism due to more people
admitting they are none religions, and instead
an atheist.

a response continued
There has been a rise in secularism because
people are becoming more disillusioned
towards their beliefs, such as the adherents
of Christianity. New Age religions such as
Astrology and Scientology have also altered
the current Australian religious landscape
as they challenge traditional beliefs and
practices. In relation to the stimulus
material, adherents move religious
denominations quite frequently in order to
keep us with the rapid pace of society and
find a group of believer like themselves.

a response
Denominational switching is a feature of the
current religious landscape. It refers to the
movement of adherents between Christian
groups such as between Protestant and Anglican
denominations. This can be visualised in the
diagram by the man with the wheelbarrow
moving between the two buildings. Many young
people are attracted to the charismatic and
inclusive nature of the Pentecostal churches
such as Hillsong. In the current landscape
people are prepared to search for a Christian
church that reflects their own spiritual
fulfilment. The number of people switching in
and out of Pentecostal Churches is

a response
high. Adherents of the Anglican
Churches are seen to be declining,
whilst Pentecostal numbers are rising
which is shown in the stimulus where
one building has been in existence but
is now being reshaped into a more
contemporary style.
