Religion

Victoria is religiously diverse, reflecting its long history of multicultural immigration. According to the most recent census data, the largest single cohort identifies as having "No Religion," reflecting a growing trend of secularism.

Among those who practice a religion, Christianity (predominantly Catholicism and Anglicanism) remains the largest grouping. However, Victoria is home to rapidly growing communities of Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism. Prominent religious landmarks include **St Patrick's Cathedral** (Catholic) and **St Paul's Cathedral** (Anglican) in Melbourne, the **Shri Shiva Vishnu Temple** in Carrum Downs (one of the largest Hindu temples in the Southern Hemisphere), and the **Fo Guang Shan** Buddhist temple.
