This did catch the eye
Believe it or not
55.6 per cent said they were affiliated with a Christian religion, down from 60.6 per cent in 2001.
34.7 per cent said they had no religion, up from 29.6 per cent in 2001.
Top five religions
554,925 Anglicans, down 5.1 per cent.
508,437 Catholics, up 4.7 per cent.
400,839 Presbyterian-Congregational-Reformed, down 7 per cent.
186,234 Christians (with no denomination given), down 3.1 per cent.
121,806 Methodists, up 1 per cent.
Small, but growing
37.8 pc increase for Orthodox.
25.6 pc increase for Evangelical, born again and fundamentalist.
17.8pc increase for Pentecostal.
More than one in three New Zealanders have no religious affiliation.
I wonder why?

Good for you!
Sounds like you need some of our Mormon Missionaries to help get you guys on the right path...
TF,
I last had Mormons knock on my door about 30 years back. I was very polite. I told them that I respected their beliefs, and asked that they give my beliefs the same respect. We exchanged pleasantries and they departed.
We often see missionaries in our street, but ours is one of about five doors they do not knock. If they did, I would give them the same message.
Hey! Is it true that your Missionaries carry a "black book"?
