One of the most startling statistics from last year’s census was for the first time, fewer than half of Australians identified as Christian. 90% of Australians identified as Christians back in 1966 - and the number has been in decline ever since. The data shows it’s millennials turning their back on God.

Today’s guest is Andrew Singleton, Professor of Sociology and Social Research at Deakin University. He says millennials now subscribe to a set of beliefs he calls "Whateverism".

So on today’s Briefing, we explore Whateverism – what it means, and how it will shape our future.
