Worldwide chaplaincy programs

I am confused by the decision to include information on Chaplaincy programs from selected countries, and adding this information into the background section. Information on other countries school chaplaincy programs does not being in the background section for this article, and probably doesn't belong at all. The only way I can see this information as being useful or relevant is if it was in a section titled along the lines of "Comparison to other school chaplaincy programs". I was tempted to just be bold and delete all the information, but i'd like to hear any thoughts on why or how this material should be included. Freikorp (talk) 10:19, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

I agree - the section currently titled, 'Comparison with chaplaincy programs overseas' should be removed. The only (and dubious) link to NSCP is, Like Australian chaplains it is expected that they will not proselytise. (an obvious NPOV "observation" not supported by the citation.) Possibly it belongs in something like A comparison of world-wide school chaplaincy programs . Sam56mas (talk) 22:18, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Statistics

Religious adherence in successive censuses have been changing quite rapidly. Those who claimed to be Christian amounted to 63.9% in the 2006 census but 61.1% in the 2011 census. Those who claimed to have no religion were 18.7% in the 2006 census but 22.3% in the 2011 census. As the statistics have changed so much, just quoting from the 2006 census could be misleading.

The Irreligion in Australia article includes figures from Roy Morgan

In 2014 Roy Morgan Research announced that they had surveyed 4840 Australians between October and December 2013 to poll religious affiliation, and found that 52.6% of Australians were Christian, while 37.6% had no religion. Norman Morris, the company's communications director, noted that the change in religious affiliation could indicated a growth of atheism and agnosticism, or a move away from identification with organised Christianity by theistic believers. He identified possible causes for the change, including "morally conservative religious doctrines" contrasting with progressive attitudes on abortion, same-sex marriage, the use of condoms in the global fight against the HIV pandemic. He also noted the drop coincided with public media attention around alleged religious cover-ups of child sexual abuse in the Child Abuse Royal Commission.
