People who believe in any kind of religion or god is dropping like a rock here. Even something like 30% of those who identify as being catholic or protestant also say they don't believe in a God. I think 45% is getting closer to the truth. Not that it's a big deal. It's a Facebook Graphic.

and, to me, atheist is something else. Not many of these surveys include "atheist" as one of the choices so I think that these numbers that get cited are deduced by people who want to cite a big number of scary atheists when in fact most people are very live-and-let-live on issues of spirituality and religion these days.

But indeed it is just a fun Facebook graphic and I should lighten up.

Well, I still laugh.

1. They never do it anyway, or don't really try
2. They assume a sameness of Canada, it's just like the US just north of it.
3. They assume Canada wants them.

By this time Canada would be overrun by Americans.
