Depends how you look at it.

70% of the population of the US identifies as being part of one of the "Christian" denominations. In Canada, it isn't far off at 67.3%.
The difference is that a larger portion of these demographics is starting to realize that certain tenets of their faith are simply untenable and as a result are having to adapt to society becoming more progressive and secular in nature. The smaller fringe who think that homosexuality is an abomination (but conveniently ignore the passages about shellfish because Endless Shrimp at Red Lobster, amirite?!) are incredibly loud about it, so it's hard to tell where the divide actually sits.
