It’s the first time that number has dipped below 70 per cent since StatCan began tracking the data in 1985. It’s important to note that this decline is not across the board; the number of Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists and Hindus is increasing, and StatCan predicts the number of Canadians reporting a non-Christian religious affiliation could double by the year 2036. So what is up? Can the faith be salvaged? Can modern day Christianity survive it's perceived ties to far right nationalism? We get into all of it today.
