  The Stats Canada numbers for remaining religious belief are a joke. For the Census people give socially conventional replies because the response is being recorded along with their name, home address, birthdate and place of birth, for future publication.
  
  People who say that they go to temple / synagogue / church regularly and give money to their priest / rabbi / ... are lying, as often as not. People who say that they are not religious, do not go to church, and do not tithe are almost certainly telling the truth. Ironic, eh?

  "This is roughly twice the percentage of self-avowed religious people in Canada (30%), and an even higher proportion when compared with Japan and Western Europe. Americans’ views are closer to people in developing nations than to the publics of developed nations."
