Ping! I need some help for a few demographic questions for the US, Canada and Australia. Any of your help will be much appreciated.

Americans by ancestry, 2000 census:

1. German 42,841,569 15.2%

2. Irish 30,524,799 10.8

3. African American1 24,903,412 8.8

4. English 24,509,692 8.7

5. American 20,188,305 7.2

6. Mexican 18,382,291 6.5

7. Italian 15,638,348 5.6

8. Polish 8,977,235 3.2

9. French 8,309,666 3.0

10. American Indian1 7,876,568 2.8

Americans of English ancestry have been a minority since the late 19th century. Even if you ad Irish and Scottish, they are still a minority.

I grew up in the suburbs of NYC and didn't meet one person of English ancestry as a kid.

I am not an expert on demographics but I do know that approximately a third of Australians have Irish ancestry and if memory serves me correctly, Roman Catholicism is the biggest religious demonation. Overall, 70% of Australians express some religious affiliation.
