Canada May Become an Agnostic majority country by 2050



Canada's Religion Demographics in 2001:



















In 2001 Canada was a clear Catholic-majority country with Protestants 15% behind.





2011:



















Ten years later the country is a very different place: Catholics, mostly from Quebec have left their faith behind while Protestants (which is defined as including anyone who identifies as a Christian who is not a Catholic or Eastern Orthodox) has declined to a lesser extent. The number of those identifying as none-religious jumped dramatically by 7% and the number of Canadians adhering to Islam went up to 3%.


If the trend continues, by 2051 Canada's Religious Demographics will look something like this:





















Of course it's unlikely that the trends will continue for the next four decades; it's unlikely for example that less than 20% of Canadians will identify as Catholic, or that other religions (Buddhism, Sikhism, Hinduism ect.) will be reduced to 1% of Canadians by 2051.
