PREF A C E
The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) developed the Australian Standard
Classification of Religious Groups (ASCRG) for use in the collection, storage and
dissemination of all Australian statistical and administrative data relating to religious
affiliation. The classification was a response to wide community interest in the religious
profile of the Australian population and the consequent need to provide quality and
consistent statistical and administrative data on religious affiliation within Australia. It was
first published in 1996.
The ABS uses the classification in its own statistical work, for example in classifying
religion data from the Census of Population and Housing. The ABS urges the use of the
ASCRG by other government agencies, community groups, and academic and private
sector organisations collecting, analysing, or using information relating to religion. This
will improve the quality and comparability of data from these sources.
This Second Edition (2005 revision) of the classification is part of a periodical review
process that aims to reflect the changes in Australia's religious profile. The review also
enabled improvements to the classification in terms of the religious groups covered and
the way in which they were grouped.
Development of the classification and its review involved extensive consultation with
users and producers of data on religious groups, academics and experts in the field,
religious organisations and community groups. The assistance and efforts of the
numerous organisations and individuals who provided information and advice, and
otherwise contributed to the consultation process, is gratefully acknowledged.

OVER VIEW
Religious affiliation provides a useful indicator of aspects of the cultural diversity of
Australia's society. In order to satisfy wide community interest in the religious affiliations
of the Australian population, and to meet a statistical and administrative need, the
Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) developed the Australian Standard Classification
of Religious Groups (ASCRG). The first edition of the ASCRG was published in 1996
(ABS cat. no. 1266.0).
The ASCRG is intended for use in collecting, aggregating and disseminating data relating
to the religious affiliation of the Australian population, or subsets of the population. As
well as being used to classify religion data from ABS surveys and the Census of
Population and Housing, its use has improved the quality of religion data provided on
administrative forms such as hospital admission and school enrolment forms.
Data classified by religious group can be used for policy and planning purposes related to
the location and development of educational facilities and church buildings, aged
persons' care facilities and services, and the provision of other social services by religious
organisations. The classification enhances the usefulness of data used to assist in
assigning chaplains and other care providers to hospitals, prisons, armed services,
universities, and other institutions. It can also be used to determine the allocation of
time to particular community groups on public radio and in other media, and is a useful
tool in general sociological research.
The first edition of the ASCRG was developed by the ABS after extensive research of
Australian and overseas literature, employment of statistical principles and techniques
relating to statistical classification, and analysis of existing data relating to the religious
profile of Australia (primarily data from the 1991 Census of Population and Housing).
This was supported and enhanced by information and advice from academics and
religious experts, and by consultation with community and religious groups interested in
this topic.
In the classification, religious groups are arranged into progressively broader categories
on the basis of similarity in terms of religious beliefs, religious practices and the cultural
heritage of adherents. This results in those religious groups which are closely related in
terms of their intrinsic characteristics being closely aligned in the structure of the
classification. Thus, people with similar religious beliefs are grouped together to produce
a classification that is useful for both social analysis and planning purposes.
To make the classification as useful as possible, the number of adherents of particular
religious groups was a significant factor in developing the classification structure. Thus,
religious groups with a large number of adherents, such as Christian denominations,
were extensively identified, while those religions with a small number of adherents were
not separately identified in the classification structure but were included in appropriate
residual categories (see: Reserved codes for residual categories). However, the
identification of individual religions or denominations in the classification, and the way in
which they are grouped, does not imply the expression of any opinion on the part of the
ABS concerning the relative merit or importance of particular religions or the people
who practice them.

I N T R O D U C T I O N continued
O V E R V I E W continued
Since its publication in 1996 the ASCRG has been widely accepted and is regarded as
serving its purposes well. However the need for periodic reviews to reflect changes in
the religious profile of Australia was foreshadowed when the ASCRG was first released.
Analysis of responses to the 2001 Census of Population and Housing Religion question,
together with ongoing feedback from users of the classification, indicated that there was
a need to update the ASCRG to reflect the changes in religious profile of the Australian
population which have occurred since 1996.
This Second Edition (2005 revision) of the classification includes changes to the
structure of the classification and the renaming of some religious groups to more
accurately reflect current terminology. At the most detailed religious group level the
structure has been expanded from 107 religious groups to 115, while the number of
narrow groups has fallen from 33 to 32. No changes have been made at the broad group
level (see: Second edition changes).
DEF I N I T I O N OF RELI G I O N
Precise definition of the concept of religion, or of what generally constitutes a 'religion',
is difficult, if not impossible, because of the intangible and wide-ranging nature of the
topic. Generally, a religion is regarded as a set of beliefs and practices, usually involving
acknowledgment of a divine or higher being or power, by which people order the
conduct of their lives both practically and in a moral sense. This method of defining
religion in terms of a mixture of beliefs, practices, and a supernatural being giving form
and meaning to existence was used by the High Court of Australia in 1983. The High
Court held that "the beliefs, practices and observances of the Church of the New Faith
(Scientology) were a religion in Victoria". As part of the ruling, it was stated that:
For the purposes of the law, the criteria of religion are twofold: first, belief in a
Supernatural Being, Thing or Principle; and second, the acceptance of canons of
conduct in order to give effect to that belief, though canons of conduct which
offend against the ordinary laws are outside the area of any immunity, privilege or
right conferred on the grounds of religion.
The above definition is useful in describing the nature of the entities included in the
classification. Apart from the major group 'No Religion' it includes all entities in the
classification. For instance, Buddhism is universally accepted as a religion because,
although it does not acknowledge a personal God, it contains elements of belief in
supernatural principles as well as canons of conduct. Similarly, Confucianism is regarded
as a religion, even though it involves no overt belief in the supernatural, because it
provides a moral code for its adherents and because it contains elements of belief in
supernatural principles. However, not all philosophies which involve beliefs about the
nature of life or codes of behaviour are accepted as religions. For instance, Marxism,
although regarded as a religion by some, is more generally regarded as a political
philosophy based on a coherent set of beliefs, without any supernatural or spiritual
component, and is therefore excluded from the classification.
Thus, the extent of opinion in regard to what constitutes a religion (particularly the
opinion of the adherents), practical considerations, and generally held notions about the
nature of philosophies, organisations and institutions all play a role in defining religion
or identifying the concepts that underpin religion. These elements complement the
4
DEF I N I T I O N OF RELI G I O N
more stringent notions of belief, accepted and widespread practices and canons of
continued
conduct and a supernatural being or principle included in the definition of religion.
It should be noted that although a definition for religion may be more difficult than for
some other concepts, the definition provided here is regarded as sufficient for the
purposes of the classification.
SCO P E OF THE
The scope of the classification is all religions and subsets of religions in the world as
CLASSI F I C AT I O N
defined above (see: Definition of religion). In practice, only those religious groups that
have a significant number of adherents in Australia are separately identified in the
classification structure. However, all other religions are covered, notionally being
included in the most appropriate residual category (Miscellaneous, Other, or Not
elsewhere classified categories) of the classification. The code structure of the
classification also allows the identification of religious groups not presently separately
identified, if such a need arises.
The classification also includes a 'No Religion' broad group which could be considered to
be inconsistent with the basis of the classification as described above and outside the
scope of the religion topic. It has been included for practical reasons and to make the
classification more useful. Many statistical and administrative applications need to
accommodate the whole range of responses to a question on religion, including the
response 'No Religion'.
CLASSI F I C AT I O N CRITE R I A
The classification criteria are the principles by which the base level units of the
AND THEI R APPL I C A T I O N
classification are formed into classification categories which may be aggregated to form
broader or higher-level categories in the classification structure. Three classification
criteria are used in the ASCRG to form the various levels of categories of the
classification:
!
similar religious beliefs;
!
similar religious practices; and/or
!
cultural heritage.
Religious groups, the most detailed level of the classification, are combined to form
narrow groups (the middle level of the classification) on the basis of their similarity in
terms of these criteria. Although the religious groups are not necessarily identical in any
particular characteristics, the narrow groups formed are relatively homogeneous in terms
of the set of classification criteria.
The most general level of the classification, the broad groups, were developed in a
slightly different manner. On the basis of the number of adherents, worldwide, the major
world religions are generally accepted as: Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Tao,
Confucian, Tribal, Animist, and Jewish. It would seem appropriate to designate these
major religions as broad groups in the classification, particularly as they are broadly
homogeneous in terms of the classification criteria (beliefs, practices, and cultural
heritage). However, consideration of the number of adherents of each of these religions
(in Australia) indicates that it is unacceptable in terms of the statistical balance of the
classification to include Tao, Confucian, Tribal and Animist religions as broad groups.
Thus, on the basis of a broad application of all the classification criteria, supported by the
size of the religions in Australia, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism
5
CLASSI F I C AT I O N CRITE R I A
are broad groups within the classification. This application of the criteria enables the
AND THEI R APPL I C A T I O N
delineation of appropriate narrow groups (constructed on the basis of a more rigorous
continued
application of the criteria) as subsets (sub-categories) of these major groups. The
classification criteria are then applied so that other major world religions and residual
narrow groups form a meaningful and useful classification structure within a residual
broad group: Other Religions.
A further broad group (No Religion) has been included in the classification for practical
reasons and to make the classification more useful (see: Scope of the classification). As
this group consists of entities not considered to be religious groups it was not developed
in accordance with the classification criteria specified above.
CLASSI F I C AT I O N
STR U C T U R E
The ASCRG has a three-level hierarchical structure.
The third and most detailed level of the classification consists of base units known as
'religious groups'. The classification consists of 115 religious groups. Some religious
groups are residual categories, or 'not elsewhere classified' (nec) categories, which
contain entities that are not listed separately in the classification.
The second level of the classification comprises 32 'narrow groups'. Narrow groups
comprise between one and 14 religious groups which are similar in terms of the
classification criteria.
The first and most general level of the classification comprises seven 'broad groups'.
These are formed by aggregating narrow groups (and hence religious groups) which are
broadly similar in terms of the classification criteria. Broad Group 7 No Religion
comprises entities which are identifiable and useful groupings which, while not satisfying
the criteria of a religion, are necessary to enable the capture of the full range of
responses to questions on religious affiliation (see: Scope of the classification).
CODE SCHE M E
A one, a two or three, and a four-digit code is assigned to each first, second and
third-level unit in the classification respectively.
The first level of the classification, the broad group level, comprises seven categories and
provides a broad overall picture of the religious affiliation of the Australian population.
Broad groups are arranged alphabetically and are represented by one digit codes. They
are:
1 Buddhism
2 Christianity
3 Hinduism
4 Islam
5 Judaism
6 Other Religions
7 No Religion
The second and third levels of the classification - the narrow group and religious group
levels respectively - provide increasingly detailed breakdowns of the broad groups.
6
C O D E S C H E M E continued
Most narrow groups are represented by a three-digit code, the first digit indicating the
broad group to which they belong. For example, within the Christianity broad group
(code 2), Anglican is code 201, Baptist is code 203, and Brethren is code 205. For
example:
2 Christianity
201 Anglican
203 Baptist
205 Brethren
At the third and most detailed level, religious groups are represented by a four-digit
code. The first three digits represent the broad and narrow groups to which they belong.
For example, religious groups 2012 Anglican Church of Australia, and 2013 Anglican
Catholic Church, both fall within the Anglican narrow group (code 201) and the
Christianity broad group (code 2). For example:
2 Christianity
201 Anglican
2012 Anglican Church of Australia
2013 Anglican Catholic Church
Narrow groups generally consist of nine or less religious groups, thus allowing for the
use of a three-digit narrow group code. However, an exception to this coding scheme
was necessary for the narrow groups representing Pentecostal Religions (code 24), Other
Protestant Religions (code 28), and Other Christian Religions (code 29). To allow these
narrow groups to comprise more than nine religious groups without necessitating a
five-digit code, they have each been allocated two-digit codes rather than three-digit
codes. For example, the Pentecostal narrow group is represented by code 24, within
which 14 religious groups are represented by four-digit codes ranging from 2401
Apostolic Church (Australia), to 2499 Pentecostal, nec. For example:
2 Christianity
24 Pentecostal
2401 Apostolic Church (Australia)
2402 Assemblies of God
2403 Bethesda Churches
2404 Christian City Church
2405 Christian Life Churches International
2406 Christian Outreach Centres
2407 Christian Revival Crusade
2408 Faith Churches
2411 Foursquare Gospel Church
2412 Full Gospel Church
2413 Revival Centres
2414 Rhema Family Church
2415 United Pentecostal
2499 Pentecostal, nec
7
C O D E S C H E M E continued
If processing or storage systems require all categories at a particular level of the
classification to use the same number of digits, it is recommended the codes of these
three two-digit narrow groups are backfilled by use of the digit zero: 240 Pentecostal, 280
Other Protestant, 290 Other Christian.
The religious profile of Australia is likely to change over time because of factors such as
changing migration patterns. From time to time, it may be necessary to add religious
groups to, or delete religious groups from, the lists of religious groups currently
separately identified in the classification as the number of adherents for particular
religions changes. (All religious groups not separately identified in the classification are
notionally included in a residual category.)
If a religious group needs to be added to (separately identified in) the classification
structure, it is allocated the next available four-digit code, in the numerical sequence of
codes, of the narrow group to which it is being added. Likewise if a religious group
ceases to have a sufficient number of adherents in Australia to justify it continuing to be
separately identified in the classification and it is consequently deleted from the
classification, its code would only be reallocated to another religious group in
exceptional circumstances as this would be likely to cause confusion with time series
data.
The religious groups in narrow groups are, generally speaking, in alphabetical order.
However, this order of units, while useful, is not imperative and it is not considered that
the addition of new units, which may disrupt the alphabetical order, will affect the
usefulness of the classification structure.
The ASCRG code scheme has been devised so that any future changes to the
classification structure can be easily accommodated. However, in order that the
classification remain a standard, users should not make changes to the structure. Rather,
users should contact the ABS and identify any problems they encounter in the course of
implementation, data collection, or data analysis when using the classification.
RESER VED CODES FOR
Some narrow groups include residual 'nec' categories. These categories are represented
RESIDU AL CATEGO R IE S
by four-digit codes consisting of the two or three digits of the narrow group code,
followed by the digits 99 or 9. All religious groups which are not separately identified in
the classification are notionally included in the nec category of the narrow group to
which they relate. The classification currently has 11 nec categories at the base level for
narrow groups where ABS experience indicates they are required.
In some broad groups, codes are also reserved for residual categories at the narrow
group level. These codes consist of the broad group code followed by 9 or 99. These
categories are termed 'Other' or 'Miscellaneous' categories and consist of separately
identified religious groups which do not fit into other narrow groups on the basis of the
classification criteria. The classification currently contains two such residual categories.
Provision exists in the code structure for the creation of additional residual categories. If
experience indicates the need for further residual categories the ABS will create them
and add them to the classification structure. It should be noted that residual categories
are part of the classification structure and should not be created or used merely to'dump'

responses containing insufficient data to code to a separately identified category of the
RESIDU AL CATEGO R IE S
classification (see: Supplementary codes, and Coding rules).
continued
EXPA N D E D STRU C T U R E
The base-level religious groups comprise groups of religions, religions, and subsets of
religions (see: Definition of religion). Therefore, many religious groups include a
number of further discrete religious entities which can be separately itemised. These
entities are related to particular religious groups on the basis of administrative or
organisational links, or because of a close similarity in terms of the classification criteria.
An expanded classification structure listing these sub-third-level entities is provided in
the Expanded Structure so that the definition, nature, extent and boundaries of the base
units of the classification is clearer. This will improve the usefulness of the classification
for data analysis, policy making and service provision. It should be noted that this listing
is not intended to be a fourth level of the classification, but is included to provide
indicative information on the content of each base-level unit, which should not be
considered as exhaustive or prescriptive. More detailed information on the content of
each base-level unit may be found in Appendix 3: Coding index – numerical order.
DESI G N CONS T R A I N T S
The theoretical and conceptual considerations for developing the classification were
tempered by other considerations such as the practical usefulness of the classification for
collecting data from both statistical and administrative collections, the analytical
usefulness of data collected within the framework of the classification, and the number
of Australian adherents of each category at each level of the classification.
Generally, the classification criteria were applied in a straightforward manner. However,
some decisions in regard to the identification of religious groups and the progressive
grouping of units were made on the basis of whether it would be possible to collect data
in relation to certain religious sub-sets or whether data for particular religions would be
more useful if classified in a broader or finer manner. These decisions were made in
consultation with religious and ethnic communities, religious experts and users of
religion data.
One effect of these constraints on the classification has been that some religious groups
which are significant in a world context are not separately identified in the structure,
some broad groups are limited in the number of narrow groups they subsume, and some
major world religions are represented at levels below the broad group level. The most
notable effect has been in the large number of narrow groups and religious groups
represented as subsets of the broad group Christianity.
SUPP L E M E N T A R Y CODE S
Supplementary codes are used to process inadequately described responses in statistical
collections. The codes are of three types:
!
four-digit codes ending with one or more zeros;
!
four-digit codes commencing with three zeros; and
!
to meet specific needs.
Codes ending in zero are described as 'not further defined' (nfd) codes and are used to
code responses to a question about religion which cannot be coded to the detailed
(religious group) level of the classification but which can be coded to a higher level of
the classification structure.
9
For example, responses which cannot be identified as relating directly to a particular
continued
religious group, but which are known to be within the range of religions relating to a
particular narrow group, are coded to that narrow group. Such responses are allocated
an nfd code consisting of the two or three-digit code of the narrow group followed by 00
or 0. For instance, the response 'Orthodox' does not contain sufficient information to be
coded directly to any particular religious group, but it can be coded to Narrow Group
223 Orthodox, which encompasses all Orthodox religions. It is thus allocated to 2230
Orthodox, nfd.
Similarly, responses which do not contain sufficient information to be related directly to
a particular religious group, or to a narrow group, but which are known to be within the
range of religions relating to a particular broad group, are coded to that broad group.
Such responses are allocated an nfd code consisting of the one-digit code of the broad
group followed by 000. For instance, the response 'Christian' does not contain sufficient
information to be related directly to a religious group or a narrow group, but it can be
coded to Broad Group 2 Christianity, which encompasses all Christian religions. It is thus
allocated the code 2000 Christianity, nfd.
Thus, religion responses which are only codeable at the broad or narrow group levels of
the classification can be processed within a collection coded at the religious group level.
There are some cases where the classification structure would, in theory, support the
creation of a supplementary nfd code not already included in the range of valid
supplementary codes used by the ABS. For example, no nfd code has been created for
Narrow Group 207 Catholic, as the response 'Catholic' is properly allocated to the
category 2071 Western Catholic.
Four-digit codes commencing with 000 are supplementary codes included for
operational purposes to facilitate the coding of responses such as inadequately described
religious affiliations, which present particular problems in that they cannot be allocated
one particular religious group, narrow group or broad group code.
For example, responses such as 'all religions' and 'own religion' are coded to 0002
Religious Belief, nfd.
Additional supplementary codes have been included to meet specific needs and to
maximise the value of data collected from statistical surveys. For example, The Apostolic
Church (Australia) (Religious Group 2401) is classified to Narrow Group 24 Pentecostal,
and both The Apostolic Church of Queensland (Religious Group 2901) and The New
Apostolic Church (Religious Group 2906) are classified to Narrow Group 29 Other
Christian. The term 'Apostolic' lacks sufficient information to code to a specific narrow
group, and to code such responses to 'Christian, nfd' (code 2000) would mean that
useful information was being discarded. Hence supplementary code 2001 Apostolic
Church, so described, has been created to capture this information. The code 2001 is
appropriate because any responses relating to it must necessarily lie within Broad
Group 2 Christianity.
A similar approach has been taken for responses relating to the 'Church of God'
(code 2002), 'Australian Christian Churches' (code 2003), and 'New Church Alliance'
(code 2004).
10
For publication purposes, it is acceptable to aggregate all data classified to code 2001,
continued
code 2002, code 2003 and code 2004 to provide a total for Christian, nfd (code 2000).
It should be noted that supplementary codes are not part of the classification structure.
They exist for operational reasons only, and no data would be coded to them if
sufficiently detailed responses were obtained in all instances. (See: Appendix 1:
Supplementary codes, for a full list of the supplementary codes).
CODI N G INDE X
Responses provided in statistical and administrative collections do not always relate
directly to classification categories. A coding index is therefore necessary to act as a link
between responses and the classification, enabling responses to be assigned accurately
and quickly to the appropriate category of the classification.
The coding index has been developed to assist in the implementation and use of the
classification and should be used when coding responses to questions relating to
religious affiliation, religious denomination, etc. The coding index has been devised by
reference to existing literature in the field, consultation with religious experts and ethnic
and community groups, and by analysis of existing ABS data. It thus includes responses
actually obtained in ABS statistical collections. It contains a comprehensive list of the
most probable responses to questions relating to religion and their correct classification
codes. See Appendix 2 for the coding index sorted in alphabetical order and Appendix 3
for numerical order. In order to distinguish actual categories of the classification
structure from other entities included in the coding indexes, the classification categories
(broad groups, narrow groups, and religious groups) have been presented in the index
in bold type. Supplementary categories are shown in italics in the index.
CODIN G RULES
In developing the coding index a number of rules were followed in assigning index
entries the correct classification code. It is recommended that these rules be adhered to
when coding any response that does not appear in the coding index provided. Decisions
were made in regard to index entries on the basis of appropriate research and
examination of pertinent reference material. The coding rules are as follows:
!
Responses which relate directly to a religious group category are coded to that
religious group. Such instances include responses which are an exact match with the
religious group category title, responses which are an exact match with the religious
group category title except in terms of alternative spelling, the use of abbreviations,
etc., and responses which match the title in terms of the fundamental or basic words
of the title and differ only in terms of qualifying or extraneous words.
!
Responses which relate to one of the entities which are separately itemised as
subsets of religious groups in the expanded classification are coded to that religious
group.
!
Responses which relate directly to a religious group because they describe an entity
which is one of a group of religions comprising the religious group, or a subset of
the religious group (denomination, administrative or organisational grouping, etc.)
are coded directly to that religious group.
!
Responses which cannot be identified as relating to a separately identified religious
group in the classification are assigned a residual category code, or a supplementary
code as described above (see: Reserved codes for residual categories, and
Appendix 1: Supplementary codes).
11
EDIT I N G SPECI F I C A T I O N S
Because some responses are assigned nfd or nec codes rather than the codes of
particular religious groups, it is important that in validating input codes at editing stage,
manipulating data, and deriving output items, the full range of valid codes are included
in all specifications. The full range of valid codes can be obtained from the classification
structure section, and Appendix 1: Supplementary codes.
CODI N G , STORA G E AND
Regardless of the level of aggregation envisaged for the dissemination of data, wherever
PRES E N T A T I O N OF DAT A
possible, data should be captured, classified and stored at the base level of the
classification. Collecting and storing data at the most detailed level of the classification
allows the greatest flexibility for the output of data, enables more detailed and complex
analyses, facilitates comparisons with previous data using different classifications, and
preserves information that may prove historically useful.
However, the constraints affecting each statistical collection or other application, such as
problems with confidentiality or standard errors, may not permit the collection or output
of data at the lower levels of the classification. Nevertheless, the use of a standard
classification will enhance data comparability even though it may not always be possible
to disseminate the data at the most detailed level.
The hierarchical structure of the classification allows users the flexibility to output
statistics at the level of the classification which best suits their particular purposes. Data
can be presented at broad group level, narrow group level, or religious group level. If
necessary, significant religious groups within a narrow group can be presented separately
while the remaining religious groups within the narrow group are aggregated. The same
principle can be adopted to highlight significant narrow groups within a broad group.

SECO N D EDIT I O N CHAN G E S
NEED FOR REVIEW
The need for periodic reviews of the ASCRG to reflect the changes taking place in
Australia's religious profile was foreshadowed when the ASCRG was first released.
Analysis of responses to the 2001 Census of Population and Housing Religion question
highlighted some issues which needed to be addressed in a review of the ASCRG to
ensure it was as up to date as possible for use in the 2006 Census. In particular the
analysis:
!
revealed a wide variety of responses to the Religion question;
!
identified the need for a small number of religious groups to be added to the
classification; and
!
highlighted the need for some minor changes to coding assignment in the
classification.
Feedback from users of the classification and other stakeholders also supported the
need for a minor review of the classification.
PURPO SE OF THE REVIEW
The purpose of the review was to:
!
ensure the classification was up to date;
!
capture changes in the religious profile of Australia, enabling improvements to the
classification, in terms of religious groups covered and the grouping of certain
religions,
!
address any errors in the classification; and
!
improve the coding index used to map responses to religious groups.
As the review was intended to be an update only, no further attempt was made to
analyse the conceptual model underpinning the classification or to make any changes at
the broad group level. There was no evidence to suggest that a more comprehensive
review was necessary.
MET H O D USED
1. Statis tic al analys is
Responses to the 2001 Census Religion question were analysed to identify new religious
groups, and religious groups whose number of adherents had either significantly
increased or declined.
Religions within 'not elsewhere classified' categories which recorded over 1,000
responses have been identified separately in new categories (that is, religious groups),
although exceptions were made for religions which recorded slightly fewer responses
but were of specific interest.
The new categories have been sorted in alphabetical order and allocated the next
unused number in the classification code sequence.
2. Stakeholder
Consultation
There were two stages of stakeholder consultation undertaken:
!
an initial round of consultation inviting general comments on the classification with
particular focus drawn to the emergence, growth and decline of individual religious
groups; and
!
a second round of consultation requesting comments on changes proposed as a
result of feedback received from the first round of consultation.
Stakeholders indicated that overall they were satisfied with the revised classification.

2. Stakeholder
Key changes requested included the breakdown of the Anglican and Oriental Christian
Consultation continued
narrow groups, and the inclusion of a number of new religious groups in the expanded
structure. The latter are detailed in: Changes to the expanded structure.
While most suggested changes were included in the Second Edition, a number were not
widely accepted and some met with opposition when included in the draft proposal
circulated for comment during the second round of consultation. In such cases the
proposed changes were withdrawn or modified to accommodate stakeholder concerns.
CHAN G E S MADE TO THE
The structure of the second edition of the ASCRG has not changed at the broad group
ASCR G
level; however several changes have been made at the more detailed levels. Two new
narrow groups have been included in the Second Edition, and two narrow groups which
were previously included in the first edition of the ASCRG have been removed. Seven
new religious groups have been added, while one which was included in the first edition
has been removed. 15 new entries have been added to the expanded structure of the
Second Edition, and eight entries removed. 73 new entries have been added to the
Second Edition's coding indexes, five which were included in the first edition have been
removed, and 20 entries have been recoded from the first edition to the Second Edition.
In addition, four new supplementary codes have been included in the Second Edition.
All of these changes are detailed below.
Anglic an Churc h
Religious Group 2011 Anglican in the first edition of the ASCRG has been removed from
the Second Edition and replaced by two new religious groups, The Anglican Church of
Australia (2012), and The Anglican Catholic Church (2013). This was done to recognise
the difference between The Anglican Church of Australia and The Anglican Catholic
Church and to enable data to be provided on each.
Oriental Chris tian
A new narrow group titled 'Assyrian Apostolic' (code 222) has been introduced in the
Churc hes
second edition of the ASCRG which includes the religious group The Assyrian Church of
the East (2221), and the religious group The Ancient Church of the East (2222). In the
first edition of the ASCRG these religious groups were included in Narrow Group 221
Oriental Christian (The Assyrian Church of the East had code 2222, and The Ancient
Church of the East had code 2211). In recognition of this change the Oriental Christian
narrow group has been renamed 'Oriental Orthodox', but retains the same code (221).
For completeness, in the second edition of the ASCRG, Religious Group 2229 Assyrian
Apostolic, nec, is also included in Narrow Group 222.
Narrow Group 223 Orthodox has been renamed 'Eastern Orthodox' in the Second
Edition to ensure there is a clear delineation between it and Narrow Group 221 Oriental
Orthodox.
Theis m
As Theism is a belief in a God rather than in a specific religion or religious group, Narrow
Group 621 Theism, nec in the first edition of the ASCRG has been deleted from the
classification in the Second Edition, and supplementary code 0005 Theism, added.
14
Zoroas trianis m
Responses to the 2001 Census of Population and Housing Religion question indicated
that Zoroastrianism has a very small following in Australia. As a result Narrow Group 623
Zoroastrianism, has been removed from the classification in the second edition of the
ASCRG and replaced by Religious Group 6998 Zoroastrianism under Narrow Group 699
Miscellaneous Religions.
Jainis m
Responses to the 2001 Census of Population and Housing Religion question indicated
that Jainism has a significant following in Australia. In recognition of this a new religious
group, Jainism (code 6997), has been introduced in the second edition of the ASCRG. In
the first edition of the ASCRG, Jainism was included in Religious Groups, nec
(code 6999).
Chaldean Catholic
A new religious group, 2075 Chaldean Catholic, has been introduced in the second
edition of the ASCRG in recognition of the large number of followers of this religion
which were reported in the 2001 Census of Population and Housing. In the first edition
of the ASCRG, Chaldean Catholic was classified to Religious Group 2079 Catholic, nec.
Ethiopian Orthodox
A new religious group, 2216 Ethiopian Orthodox, has been introduced in the second
edition of the ASCRG in recognition of the large number of followers of this religion
which were reported in the 2001 Census of Population and Housing. In the first edition
of the ASCRG, Ethiopian Orthodox was included in Religious Group 2219 Oriental
Christian, nec.
Chines e Religions , nec
A new religious group, 6059 Chinese Religions, nec, has been introduced in the second
edition of the ASCRG to overcome a deficiency of the first edition in which Chinese
Religions, other than Ancestor Veneration, Confucianism and Taoism (which were
identified as religious groups 6051, 6052, and 6053 respectively), were included in
Narrow Group 699 Miscellaneous Religions, rather than Narrow Group 605 Chinese
Religions.
Japanes e Religions, nec
A new religious group, 6119 Japanese Religions, nec, has been introduced in the second
edition of the ASCRG to overcome a deficiency of the first edition in which Japanese
Religions, other than Shinto, Sukyo Mahikari and Tenrikyo (which were identified as
religious groups 6111, 6112, and 6113 respectively), were included in Narrow Group 699
Miscellaneous Religions, rather than Narrow Group 611 Japanese Religions.
Community of Christ
Religious Group 2152 was named 'Reorganised Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints' in the first edition of the ASCRG. In the Second Edition it has been renamed
'Community of Christ'.
Syrian Orthodox Church
Religious Group 2215 was named 'Syrian (Jacobite) Church' in the first edition of the
ASCRG. In the Second Edition it has been renamed 'Syrian Orthodox'.
15
CHAN GES TO THE
Many of the base-level units (religious groups) comprise a number of further discrete
religious entities which can be separately itemised. These entities are related to
particular religious groups on the basis of administrative or organisational links, or
because of a close similarity in terms of their beliefs, practices or heritage.
A classification structure listing these sub-third-level entities is provided in the Expanded
Structure so that the definition, nature, extent and boundaries of the base units of the
classification is clearer.
Analysis of responses to the 2001 Census of Population and Housing Religion question
revealed a number of religions which were not previously included in the ASCRG's
expanded structure. Those with a significant number of responses have been added to
the expanded structure.
New entries added to the expanded structure of the Second Edition, and the religious
groups to which they relate, are listed below.

CHAN GES TO
The second edition of the ASCRG includes a number of new special supplementary
codes that have been created to preserve data relating to meaningful responses that
would otherwise be lost (that is, they would be aggregated with incoherent or otherwise
inadequately described responses). The new codes are:
0004 New Age, so described
0005 Theism
2002 Church of God, so described
2003 Australian Christian Churches, so described
2004 New Church Alliance, so described
Code 0004, 'New Age, so described', has been added to facilitate the coding of 'New Age' a response which cannot be attributed to a particular broad group, but is of interest
because of the number of such responses given.
Code 0005, 'Theism', has been added and replaces the first edition's 6211 Theism, nec.
Code 2002, 'Church of God, so described', has been included because the response
'Church of God' lacks sufficient information to allow it to be coded to a specific narrow
or religious group, but it is sufficiently descriptive to relate to the Christianity broad
group. This code, like the supplementary code for Apostolic Church (code 2001), will
capture the high number of such responses and ensure useful information is not 'lost' to
the 'Christian, nfd' code (code 2000).
Code 2003, 'Australian Christian Churches, so described', and code 2004, 'New Church
Alliance, so described', are examples of churches of various denominations, all of which
are included in the ASCRG. However, in some instances responses may refer to these
alliances rather than a specific religious denomination.
In the first edition of the ASCRG, Code 0003 was named 'Inadequately described'. In the
second edition of the ASCRG it has been renamed 'Not Defined' in order to broaden its
scope to cater for philosophies which are adequately described but do not meet the
criteria necessary to be recognised as a religious group.

AP P E N D I X 1 SUPP L E M E N T A R Y CODES
NAT U R E OF COD E S
Supplementary codes are used to process inadequately described responses in statistical
collections. The supplementary codes listed below are of three types:
! four-digit codes ending with one or more zeros used to code responses which
cannot be coded to the detailed level of the classification but can be coded to a
higher level of the classification structure (not further defined (nfd) codes);
! four-digit codes commencing with zero used to code responses which cannot be
allocated to a category at any level of the classification (not defined/not stated
codes); and
! four-digit codes that classify responses which, while lacking sufficient information to
code to a specific narrow group, provide useful information which are of particular
interest or meet special needs.
APP L I C A T I O N OF COD E S
Supplementary codes are not part of the classification structure. Although the list
provided below contains all possible nfd codes, a number of them will not be required
for use in many applications. The not defined and not stated codes will be needed in
most coding processes. A more detailed explanation of supplementary codes and their
application is provided in the Supplementary codes section of the Introduction.
