It looks obviously far weaker than in the US but it still seems a lot more powerful a lobby than in the UK. Do politicans ever get asked about their religious views in Australia?. It generally would be considered to even ask here
We have a long history, in Australian terms, of openly atheist/agnostic politicians. It seems though that the more secular/atheist Australian society is becoming the harder religious groups push their agendas.
