More Singapore residents identifying as having no religion: census
SINGAPORE — While Singapore continues to be religiously diverse, more residents are identifying as having no religion, said the Department of Statistics (DOS) in a report released on Wednesday (16 June).
Among Singapore citizens and permanent residents aged 15 and above in 2020, those with no religious affiliation made up 20 per cent, an increase from 17 per cent in 2010, said the DOS in the first statistical publication on its Census 2020 findings.
Within the ethnic groups, 25.7 per cent of Chinese identified as having no religion, while 0.4 per cent of Malays and 2.2 per cent of Indians said the same in 2020. Meanwhile, 14.6 per cent of those from other ethnic groups said they had no religion.
Among the resident population aged 15 and above in 2020, Buddhists were the largest group at 31.1 per cent, followed by Christians at 18.9 per cent and Muslims at 15.6 per cent. Taoists comprised 8.8 per cent, while Hindus made up 5 per cent, with those prescribing to other religions accounting for 0.6 per cent.
The proportion of Muslims and Christians also grew between 2010 and 2020 while the proportion of Buddhist and Taoists dipped.
Among the Chinese, 40.4 per cent identified as Buddhists, while 21.6 per cent were Christian, 11.6 per cent Taoist and 0.5 per cent Muslim. Among the Malays, 98.8 per cent identified as Muslim, while 0.1 per cent said they were Buddhists and 0.4 per cent had no religion.
For Indians, 57.3 per cent identified as Hindu, while 23.4 per cent were Muslim, 12.6 per cent were Christian and 0.7 per cent were Buddhist. Another 3.9 per cent of Indians identified with some other religion and 2.2 per cent said they had no religion.
The DOS report is aimed at providing broad trends and changes relating to the demographic characteristics, marriage and fertility, education, literacy, home language and religion of Singapore's resident population – referring to citizens and permanent residents – between 2010 and 2020. The census data was collated from 150,000 households.
More findings from Census 2020 will be shared on Friday.

More like having no religion officially recognized by the Sinkie govt.
The numbers do show that there is a decrease in people believing in buddhism and taoism.

I think Taoism and Hinduism no need to convert, all the others need a conversion ceremony. Buddhism... it depends if you're hardcore or not.
I would love to see a Shinto shrine in Sinkieland, I'm sure there are more Japs than Jews here, and yet there's a synagogue for the Jews. Such a lack of respect.

Forget about marriage and just impregnate. All excess unwanted babies are put up for adoption or auction.

There could be many childless couples who may not mind adopting the baby of a single mother.

from straitstimes.com:
SINGAPORE - Data categorised by ethnicity remains relevant to Singapore, and is done with the "best of intentions", to ensure no group is inadvertently left behind, and to know where to intervene with help.
Explaining why population data is broken down by ethnicity, Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Indranee Rajah said at a media briefing on the release of Singapore's population census on Wednesday (June 16): "To the extent that any group may not be doing as well as any others in any areas, then it tells us that as a society and in terms of policy, we should do something to try and make sure that we can bridge any gap."
The census is conducted every decade by the Department of Statistics. Its latest findings showed that the ethnic composition of the resident population has remained stable - with 74.3 per cent Chinese, 13.5 per cent Malays and 9 per cent Indians.
The resident population comprises citizens and permanent residents.
Citizen proportions also remained constant at 75.9 per cent Chinese, 15 per cent Malays and 7.5 per cent Indians.
Singapore's total population rose from 5.077 million in 2010 to 5.686 million in 2020.
Ms Indranee, who oversees the National Population and Talent Division, was asked by reporters whether it was useful to continue presenting data according to ethnicity rather than socio-economic indicators like income - particularly when the figures might reveal stark disparities. In the area of education, for example, the proportion of university graduates in 2020 was 34.7 per cent for the Chinese, 10.8 per cent for Malays and 41.3 per cent for Indians.
Ms Indranee said such questions assume "all will be well" in the absence of such breakdowns.
"If you didn't have this data, then let's say that a particular ethnic group was not doing well compared to the others, you would have no idea how many (people); you would have no idea in what areas; you wouldn't know whether the problem was education or whether the problem was something else," she explained.
"All you would have is just one big block of data… And you would not, for example, be able to reach or address those groups in a way that is meaningful to them."
Ms Indranee acknowledged the importance of not presenting such race-based data in a manner that leads to divisiveness or finger-pointing.
The Government has put out race-based statistics with the right balance - enough for people to know where different groups are going or heading, but not in such a way as to be inimical to any group, she said.
Ms Indranee added she had noticed that social media conversations often pinpoint the few instances where the Government relies on race-based data, but without the full picture.
In school, for instance, if students are not faring well, basic remedial classes are offered to students of all races.
"It's (only) a small subset where they may come from family backgrounds where the parents only speak in the vernacular, where there are certain issues that may be tied to ethnicity or culture," Ms Indranee noted.
"And the only way you're able to address them is on their own terms, which is through their own cultural and ethnic lens, and that was the basic thinking behind setting up the self-help groups."
There are four race-based self-help groups: the Chinese Development Assistance Council, the Singapore Indian Development Association (Sinda), Yayasan Mendaki and the Eurasian Association.
Ms Indranee, who is Sinda president, stressed that these groups were not the "be-all and end-all".
She also said that events of the past few weeks have shown that being multiracial, multi-religious and multilingual was still very important to Singapore.
One of these was a video from last weekend showing a Chinese man making racist remarks at a mixed-race couple. Another was a clip of a Chinese woman interrupting her neighbour's Hindu prayers.
Such incidents have sparked police investigations and animated discussion among both the public and government leaders.
Ms Indranee said racism has existed since the dawn of time - and as a matter of concern for Singapore since its independence.
"It is an ugly thing. We shouldn't have it. You have to fight against it. It comes up from time to time because people have frustrations, they may have personal angst," she said. "When we see it, we should deal with it firmly."
But Ms Indranee also said this did not mean that Singapore would reach a "post-race" stage, nor that the country would disregard markers like religion or language.
"What it means is that you must work very hard to make sure that the different races, religions, languages - with all their wonderful differences which we celebrate - can actually live together peacefully and harmoniously," she said. "And that's constantly a work in progress."
Race-based data in population census needed for S'pore to help ethnic groups meaningfully: Indranee

More singles and less children are highlighted, but perhaps single mothers are lost in the mix.
This could be an opportunity to pair childless couples with single mothers in some kind of co-upbringing arrangement whereby the lucky kid can have 3 parents.
yes, good idea.......the childless hubby and single mum can also.............you know lah

from straitstimes.com:
SINGAPORE - While Singapore remains religiously diverse, more residents aged 15 years and over reported having no religious affiliation compared with 10 years ago.
This increase cut across most types of educational qualifications as well as all age groups, and was more prevalent among younger and Chinese residents, according to the latest population census released on Wednesday (June 16).
The proportion of those with no religious affiliation rose by three percentage points to 20 per cent in 2020.
Chinese residents had a significantly larger proportion who identified as such (25.7 per cent) than Malays (0.4 per cent) and Indians (2.2 per cent).
Among Singapore residents aged 15 years and above in 2020, 31.1 per cent identified themselves as Buddhists, 8.8 per cent as Taoists, 18.9 per cent as Christians, 15.6 per cent as Muslims and 5 per cent as Hindus.
Over the past decade, the share of Christians and Muslims increased slightly while the share of Buddhists and Taoists decreased slightly.
Among the Chinese, Buddhists remained the largest group at 40.4 per cent in 2020, despite a decrease from 43.0 per cent in 2010.
Some 98.8 per cent of Malays were Muslims, a number relatively unchanged from 10 years ago.
Hinduism remained the most common religion for Indians (57.3 per cent) in 2020, followed by Islam (23.4 per cent), Christianity (12.6 per cent) and Sikhism (3.4 per cent).
Younger residents were more likely to have no religious affiliation, although the proportion of Singapore residents who identified as such rose across all age groups.
In 2020, 24.2 per cent of residents aged 15 to 24 years reported having no religious affiliation, higher than the 15.2 per cent for residents aged 55 years and over.
A larger proportion of older residents were Buddhists or Taoists compared with those in younger age groups.
While Buddhists accounted for 35.1 per cent and Taoists accounted for 13.1 per cent of residents aged 55 years and over in 2020, the corresponding proportions were lower at 24.9 per cent and 4.9 per cent among residents aged 15 to 24 years.
In contrast, a larger proportion of residents in younger age groups reported themselves as Muslims than those in the older age groups.
The proportion of Christians was similar across all age groups.
The proportion of residents without religious affiliation also increased across most types of educational qualifications.
Among those with below-secondary qualifications, the proportion without religious affiliation increased from 9.9 per cent to 11.6 per cent.
The proportion for those with university qualifications increased from 24.2 per cent to 27.8 per cent.
The census - conducted every 10 years - surveyed 150,000 households in 2020 for its latest iteration. It focuses mainly on the resident population, which comprises citizens and permanent residents. Singapore's total population rose from 5.077 million in 2010 to 5.686 million in 2020.

Errr............. of course, they only disclosed the racial mix of residents (but not work permit and EP holders). This % is more consistent.

Legalised polygamy means that you have to pay more legalised alimony.
