No God, eh?

Our northern neighbor is losing its religion.

From “Who’s Religious?” by Warren Clark and Grant Schellenberg, a Statistics Canada article from its summer 2006 issue, using data from Statistics Canada’s General Social Survey:

• 19% of Canadians 15 and older reported belonging to no religion in 2004, up from 12% in 1985.
• More than 50% of Canadians aged 15 to 29 reported they don’t go to religious services.

From the Canadian Social Trends-Statistics Canada graph “The importance of religion to one’s life, Canada, 2002":

• 20% of men and 15% of women reported having no religion.
• 25% of Canadians aged 15 to 29 have no religion, the highest percentage of any age group.
