I noticed that http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/rel_rel_pro-religion-religions-protestant#PostComment and http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/rel_rel_rom_cat-religion-religions-roman-catholic apparently missed the Religion data for Australia in the 2006 edition of the CIA Factbook (those pages cite "CIA World Factbook, 22 August 2006 ", giving a broken link, but the info can be seen at http://www.theodora.com/wfb2006/australia/australia_people.html )

The link to http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/ which is found on http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/rel_rel_pro-religion-religions-protestant and http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/rel_rel_rom_cat-religion-religions-roman-catholic (and perhaps elsewhere) is broken. That link now navigates to a page which offers a link to the current version of the CIA Factbook, but not to the 22 August 2006 version which you cite.
