One in Four Canadians don’t believe in God.
A new Canadian Press Harris-Decima survey reveals ,fewer than three-quarters of Canadians believe in a god. 72 per cent of poll participants said they believed in a god, while 23 per cent said they did not believe in any god. Compared to men(67 percent) more women(76 percent) believe in God. Also Canadians over the age of 50 (82 per cent) were far more likely than those under the age of 25 (60 per cent) to say they believed in a god. Belief in a god is higher in rural Canada (76 per cent) than in urban Canada (69 per cent). In one Harris Interactive study in the United States, conducted in 2007, the number who said they were non-believers was only eight per cent which is three times lower than Canada.
