Fewer than three-quarters of Canadians believe in a god, suggests a new Canadian Press Harris-Decima survey.

"Religion in Canada today is not a particularly divisive subject and tolerance levels for different beliefs are high," said Harris-Decima president Bruce Anderson. "This is evident in the fact that one in four people feel comfortable saying they do not believe in a god."

The poll found 72 per cent of respondents said they believed in a god, while 23 per cent said they did not believe in any god. Six per cent did not offer an opinion.

Polls have told a different story in the United States.

"Canada's secularism stands in clearer distinction, when compared to the cultural and political influences of religion in the United States," said Anderson. "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."

Oh yeah! America is still religious.  Except for the gays and the damn scientists, and the non believers.  Shun the nonbelievers! SHUN!

Yes, those damn scientists providing the world with all sorts of technological, medical and scientific progress and breakthroughs. They should be put in concentration camp.

23% is less than 1/4 the 6% don't have an opinion and could go any way

Its essentially 1/4th, the 6 percent would probably be agnostic or apathetic.

But the topic could just be reserved to say that 3/4ths of Canadians still believe in God so suck it.
