It occurred to me to check the ABS for the last Census count to see how many people had registered as Scientologist under religion. The information is available free to anyone here: 2006 Census Data : View by Topic

The Census is taken every 5 years, the next one will be in 2011. The numbers provided by the ABS are very interesting. (To check it out yourselves, you'll need Excel to open the files on the ABS Census website.)

State: Number of Scientologists:
South Australia - 124
Victoria - 626
New South Wales - 1089
ACT - 51
Queensland - 301
Northern Territory - 8
Western Australia - 284
Tasmania - 25

Total - 2508

General information about the Census: The Census of Population and Housing is the largest statistical operation undertaken by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). It aims to accurately measure the number of people in Australia on Census Night, their key characteristics, and the dwellings in which they live.

The scope of the Census is all people in Australia on Census Night, other than foreign diplomats and their families. Visitors to Australia are counted regardless of how long they have been in the country or how long they plan to stay. Australian residents out of the country on Census Night are not included. The Census and Statistics Act (1905) which authorises the Census also provides for the compulsory completion of the Census form.

Intersesting data, but I reckon the actual numbers could be somewhat less than stated.

When I filled out the census form for the family, when the kids were little, I put down their religion as Scientology.

On the last census form, I saw what my boys put down for their religion. They wrote "Scientology". I queried one of them on this, and he replied "What was I supposed to put down - Roman Catholic? Who gives a flyin' fu'k - I don't!"

Of these numbers - how many of these are kids, and how many stated Scientology as their religion because it was the closest to anything that could/would have been correct?

Apparently NZ has 213! That would also include chilluns. (and sheep)

Chullins yes, but not sheep! Sheep only rank highly in one domain - one that would be politically incorrect to include on the census! :whistling: :coolwink:

Admitting it though, gives credibilty to Ferals crap and contributes to his persistence in trying to derail every bloody thread that mentions NZ or Oz, by some silly comment about those dear little woolly creatures that we oh so love - so STFU, :grouch: :p, and let's get back to the issue at hand - the number of Scn'ists in Oz! :yes:

That would be less the number of people who put Jedi down on there census form.

I was on staff at the Auckland Org for 2 years before I went to flag as OOT and I reckon that apart from people doing a book one course (who were never seen again) I saw about 10 different people having metered auditing the whole time I was there and about the same number of old scientologists do any thing in the academy.

I was in the TTC and sometimes it would just be the 3 people in the TTC in the course room for weeks on end.

[Jimmymac]

I now live in Cairns and there are 12 Scientologists but 22 satanists. :D Not sure what to make of that

You raised really cool kids!!!

[Iknowtoomuch]

There's an org in Tasmania?

[degraded being]

In Tasmania? An Org? Is that some weird kind of marsupial?

[Iknowtoomuch]

Scimanian??:confused2:

Elronian Devil. Perhaps you've heard of it?

Elronian Devil. Perhaps you've heard of it?

That is a rare and seldom seen creature. The last one known was found to be hiding in the desert. They are known to be quite dangerous when they feel threatened, which is often.

They are of the genus "cultis-leaderi" There have been a few previous sightings of other species in this class. Nearly all of these adaptive and cunning creatures have mercifully found extinction.

Really interesting information FTS. Now, I know for a fact that there are there are at most, 123 $cns in SA. I have removed myself! So there are 2507 $cns in Oz. If my rusty maths is correct - 1 in approximately every 10,000, at most is a $cn cultie. No wonder its not newsworthy, or the government can't be bothered. $cn is next to NOTHING in Oz!!!!! HaHaHaHaHa.

I wonder whether DM ever looks at official statistics - no, he probably thinks is an SP plot to make the church look small.

If the same ratio pertains in the US, then there are about 20,000 culties there. A bit pathetic for the world's fastest growing religion!

Good!

[randomx]

I have photos of recent Auckland New Zealand events.
Now bare in mind that these events are compulsory
for staff to attend and public are hounded for weeks
to re confirm that they are confirmed for the event.

They get 80 people max.

The Christchurch mission seems to have about 5.
I`ll get that checked.

But I can confidently say under 100 practicing
scilons in NZ.

In other words if you lay them down head to toe across
a rugby field they`d probably all be trampled.

Well.... What a bloody stupid thing to do.

[Once bitten]

Hmm, 5's a bit generous for Christchurch Randomx.

I'd be interested to know too, as I can only count 4

Rob & Maree Deakins
Mike & Marg McAuliffe

THere are a couple of freezoners though as well who have made contact with me, but don't go to the mission

Well, some of them are suffering cancer, some are SP-declared, it is pathetic and the numbers have never been right in my opinion - compared to reality that is...

[Feral]

The US census shows 55000 scios in that country.

I extrapolated from the census I could easily find that there was about 100,000 world wide. That includes kids (as parents nominate their religions ) as well as freezoners.

That figure for Aus, 2508 is a national census figure. The church claims 250,000 according to Virginia Stewart who stated that on National TV.

[Lucretia]

Just seems if you divide everything they claim by 100, then you're pretty close to the truth. That includes results from the tech!

[Stably Exterior]

Having 10 years experience with ACT org - some of those years the best in its history - I assure you there isn't anywhere near 50 Scios there.

25 would be generous - including staff.


The church's advertised figure worldwide is 8000,0000. Contrary facts abound.

Uhhh... There is one factor we haven't considered - maybe those that make up the 8 million have already gone to Target 2.

(I hope I'm not giving Davvy ideas for the next LRH B'day event.)

OMG! :omg: ACT org! :faint: That's where people from my org were sent when the CO wanted them to die!!!! :keelover: Dean, you gotta be one of the most persistant humans on the planet! :winner: I am so glad you are out and so in awe that you survived a decade in ACT org.

When my son was four years old there was a mission in the org who convinced me to buy 5 booklets under my 4year old sons name to count as Number of new books sold to raw public (NBSR), he was also counted as BIS (Bodies in the shop) so of course he would be counted as a Scientologist, so I can tell you they have the stats completely wrong, for example:
ACT - 51????? what a complete joke, ACT would be lucky to have a courseroom with 1 student!!!!!!

I dont have the latest census data, thank you for posting it, I guess I need to update that page. This is what I had webbed from previous census:

Comparing the 1996 and 2001 Australian Census:

Females Males Total
Aboriginal
Traditional --------------------2480----------2744----------5224
Agnosticism ----------------- 7354---------10213--------17567
Atheism ---------------------- 9219----------15245-------24464
No religion ---------------1314735------1542569----2857304
Paganism ---------------------6612-----------4020-------10632
Rastafarianism ----------------167 ------------899--------1066
Satanism------------------------383------------1415--------1798
Theosophy----------------------965-------------662---------1627
Wiccan/Witchcraft-----------6621----------- 2134---------8755
$cientology-------------------- 866------------1166---------2032


In the last census In 1996, $cientology had 1488 professed members, which was 0.01% of the population five years later, they have 2032 professed members, which is 0.01% of
the population.

and do you guys from down under think there actually are 500 more in the last census or have they ordained some sheep, and their pets, as VMs?

[Feral]

No sheep Arnie (well.....) the last census showed the 2508 figure. Wow it's growing!

From 1996 to 2006 they have added more than 1000 members from those figures.

Let's wait and see the next results......

Now now Sir Facer, Dont be getting ahead of yourself there. From my knowledge ACT no longer even has a course supervisor let alone a student!! From what I can figure since the departure of the higher IQed staff in January the current ED is now left to hold pretty much all posts including suping. Oh and now that my family and I have gone that makes 5 less scios also minus the ED and the Sup leaves a total of 44 scios for ACT. Oops forgot to mention 2 public that had said they were scios on the census have also since 'retired' from said cult so make that 42.

And to think poor ol' ACT was always the loser org. I would have to say at this point she's looking like a real winner!!:buzzin:

GO ACT GO!!!!
