Hi, Aamer!
This strikes me as an extremely good idea!
A quick search on Usenet indicates that at least 116
nationalities in the world. See:

Finding or developing slang terms for each of these might keep
him busy for awhile. :-)
Of course, he probably hates other religions as well, so he will
have to develop another list. Quote:
"Adherents.com is a growing collection of over 43,870 adherent
statistics and religious geography citations: references to
published membership/adherent statistics and congregation
statistics for over 4,200 religions, churches, denominations,
religious bodies, faith groups, tribes, cultures, movements,
ultimate concerns, etc. The religions of the world are enumerated
here.
Basically, researchers can use this site to answer such questions
as "How many Lutherans live in Wisconsin?", "What are the major
religions of India?", or "What percentage of the world is
Muslim?" We present data from both primary research sources such
as government census reports, statistical sampling surveys and
organizational reporting, as well as citations from secondary
literature which mention adherent statistics. "

That should keep him busy even longer. :-)
Perhaps he will be happy for your suggestion and
my elaboration on it.
Australia? Well, a quick search reveals the following.

"
Australian Ethnic & Religious Diversity
An Exotic Blend of Nationalities!
MulticulturalOur native Australians - Aborigines and Torres
Strait Islanders - have inhabited the continent for the past
60,000 years. In the late 18th century Australia was colonised by
the British. By World War II the population of 7 million
comprised mainly of Northern Europeans. In the mid-forties, a
migration program was established. Since then, over 6 million
migrants from more than 200 countries, including Greece, Italy,
China and Vietnam now call Australia home. Of the current
population which exceeds 20 million, about 25 per cent were born
overseas. More than one third have either one or both parents
born outside the country.
While English is the predominant language in Australia, some 200
other languages are spoken, including Italian, Greek, Arabic,
Mandarin, Cantonese and Vietnamese.
This plethora of ethnic groups embraces many different religious
beliefs. While Australia is regarded as a Christian country all
other religions are respected and represented via churches,
synagogues, mosques, temples and other places of worship."
