Christian Religion: Canadian Immigrants

But among new Canadian immigrants, the number of Christians has dropped to 47.5 per cent from 78 per cent in 1971, while nearly one-quarter of the Canadian population reported having no religious affiliation at all, compared with 16 per cent in 2001 and WASHINGTON - Canada and the United States are not just two of the world's closest neighbours in terms of commerce, trade and culture, but the former British colonies also shared many of the same fundamental beliefs and ideals as they forged their respective nations. Just over 67 per cent of those who participated in the 2011 National Household Survey Statistics Canada's voluntary replacement for the cancelled mandatory long-form census reported being "affiliated with a Christian religion," the agency reported Wednesday.
