Which would mean 33% don't....
And then there is this...
Quote:
The privately faithful, 30 per cent of respondents, “are people who actually believe in God, believe in heaven, believe in an afterlife,” said Angus Reid, the institute’s founder and chairman. “They have largely not been involved in organized religion. They will go to funerals and weddings and that sort of thing, but their faith is largely a private matter, and it’s really driven by their prayer. They pray on a regular basis.”

So that's another chunk of people who want no part of organized religion. Basically 21% go to Church(or similar) regularly, if I'm interpreting that correctly. So in reality, that's much different than what you were trying to present in your previous post(that CP is some bastion of athiestic hedonism). Clearly you are incorrect in regard to the rest of Canada.
I'm far less concerned with what people believe in their own homes. Organized religion is the damaging aspect, particularly in regard to the subject of this thread.
