So why are today's Australians not as religious as their parents and grandparents?
Growing up in Pakistan, Sabeena Mozaffar was raised as a devout Muslim.
But from an early age she had her doubts about the faith.
It wasn't until the 23-year-old moved to Sydney for university that she felt comfortable openly challenging her faith.
University student Lisa Qiu [[choo]] also drifted away from religion after questioning her Christian upbringing.
The internet, she says, was critical in influencing her decision to become atheist.
It's a view shared by many young Australians today.
Census data shows in 2001, 19 per cent of those aged 24 and under said they were not religious.
That increased to 35 percent in 2016.
