Pastor Jacob Birch and the Fastest Growing Religious Choice in Canada

The fastest growing religious choice in Canada is "no religious affliation" at all.

That doesn't Canadians are less spiritual or less Christian necessarily... nearly 2/3rds of Canadians affiliate with some kind of Christian denomination... it just means that now 25% of Canadians (up from 16.5% in 2001) chose not to have or - at the very least - chose not reveal to a pollster what religious affiliation they have... if any.

Implications for evangelicals who according to Ed Stetzer have remained "pretty steady" over the last 20 years in Canada (2001 and 1996) are many and various.

Here is a map of the world showing were nones are (darker) and aren't (lighter).
