No mate this is real and has moved on from that. Once Australians did tend to report “Christian” in the census when they only went to church for weddings, funerals and Christmas when grandma made them go, but nowadays these people of all ages report “no religion”. The default culture is not Christian and so people (generally) don’t feel the need to say they are that when they aren’t.

Yeah I'd say it's probably the same with my generation here in the UK, but wouldn't be surprised if my parents and their generation would still put Christian on a census despite not being in a church for 10 years!
