U of L study: Belief in God declining in Canada, but majority do hold faith
LETHBRIDGE, AB – A new survey from the University of Lethbridge has found that, while a majority of Canadians still hold a belief in a higher power, those numbers have dropped over time.
U of L Sociologist Dr. Reginald Bibby has been polling religious beliefs in the country for the past 45 years.
The latest survey was conducted using an online representative sample of 3,029 people. It was conducted in partnerships with Andrew Grenville and Maru/Blue Research.
When asked, “Do you believe that God exists?”, 59 per cent said that they definitely do or they think so. That number has fallen from 81 per cent in 2000 and 84 per cent in 1985.
