Australia is a Christian country nominally, not in fact. Religion, in no practical sense, has any bearing on our society and no special place in it. It never really has, even when most of us were "Christian".
Schultz should have referred to who he really meant: Muslims. Athiests and adherents of non-Christians religions don't carry the problems with them that Muslims do everywhere they go. Muslims "overdo" their religion, and they stick out like sore thumbs. It will never work in Australia, where religion is a private thing without influence on a secular, democratic society
