Answer:

Australia's culture is predominantly Western, originating in Britain but affected by the country's unique topography and the cultural contributions of Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, and other Australians. In 1788, the British colonized Australia, triggering waves of multi-ethnic migration.

Explanation:

Language-

Australia is predominantly monolingual, with English serving as the de facto national language despite the lack of an official language. Australian English is a prominent dialect of the language that may be distinguished from British, American, and other national dialects by its distinct accents, pronunciations, idioms, and vocabulary, albeit its spelling resembles British rather than American variants.

Religion-

Although Christianity is the most popular religion in Australia, the country is varied, and you won't witness as much religious influence as you might in other countries, with only 25% of Australians identifying as religious.

Demographics

In Australia, the 2016 census revealed over 100 different religious affiliations. The largest religious category was Christian, with 52.1 percent identifying as such. The two largest Christian faiths identified were the Catholic Church (22.6%) and the Anglican Church (13.3%). Meanwhile, 8.2% of the population claimed to belong to a religion other than Christianity. Islam (2.6%) and Buddhism (2.4%) were the most popular religions, followed by Hinduism (1.9%), Sikhism (0.5%), and Judaism (0.5%). (0.4 percent ).
