homework help: hii, I need information on the religious influences on the people of Australia in the early 1900’s but I am having difficulty finding it. - Help.com

The references, Bibliography and external links of Australia’s Wikipedia page should help.

Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia

There is a fairly good link buried in there.)

Oh, I should mention, some sources might not be very objective due to the whole “aboriginal” thing.

Really? There is census information dating all the way back to 1901 in one of those links.

What is it, exactly, that you are needing?

Ah. I understand… You’re looking for the cultural impact of religion on Australia…

Let me see what I can find.

look at stolen generation, christianity really messed up with supressing the indiginous people of australia. things like missionaries and taking away half-casts. if your australian though you probably knew that…

How about this?

(as an example of a source, not the actual information)

whos the australian poet?

he wrote a poem called “Surely God was a Lover” though i haven’t read it but i might help. MY THOUGHTS: he grew up in a rural area, penola so therefore there wasn’t either a church very nearby and may not have even gone. depends on the wealth of the family and how far out they were from the town. during the time, england and aus in terms of religion weren’t too different. christinaity was just as important although, seeing as a lot of people were descents of convicts it should be noted that they were not really religious and were just labourors. i dont know enough about his background but hope this give you some things to consider. goodluck
