This academic text by Ian Breward presents a comprehensive historical analysis of religion and secularism in Australia. It meticulously chronicles the nation's spiritual landscape from its colonial beginnings, examining the complex interplay between various religious traditions and the evolving secular character of Australian society. Breward argues that Australia's unique historical development fostered a distinctive approach to faith, often characterized by a pragmatic and understated spirituality rather than overt religiosity. The book details the social, political, and cultural forces that shaped this "godless" reputation, offering a nuanced perspective on the country's religious identity. It is an essential read for scholars of Australian history, religious studies, and sociology.
