Christianity has long been on the decline all over Europe. There major cathedrals are largely tourist sites rather than places of worship. Now, Canada is experiencing a similar trend with more and more citizens becoming less and less affiliated with Christianity. Here are five facts about religion in Canada, based on Pew Research Center data:
- A declining share of Canadians identify as Christians, while an increasing share say they have no religion.
- Most Canadians say religion’s influence in public life is waning in their country.
- Canada has low levels of government restrictions on religion.
- Relatively few Canadians engage frequently in traditional religious practices, such as daily prayer or weekly worship.
- Two-thirds of Canadians (67%) say it is not necessary to believe in God in order to be moral and have good values.
