Idk, Canada is a lot more religious now than in the 20th century

https://madeinca.ca/religion-statistics-canada/

Based on answers in the 2021 census, 53.3% of the Canadian population identify as Christians. That means over 19.3 million Canadians reported belonging to a Christian religion. However, the proportion of Christians is falling rapidly in Canada. In 2011, 67.3% of Canadians identified as Christians, while in 2001, the percentage of Christians was 77.1% of the population.

...

The number of Canadians who say they have no religious affiliation has more than doubled since 2001 when 16.5% of the population had no religious affiliation. By 2011, the percentage had risen to 23.9% and in 2021, 34.6% of Canadians had no religious affiliation. 34.6% is approximately 12.6 million Canadians.

Perhaps the existing Christian base is getting louder, but the raw number of Christians is falling. Meanwhile, no affiliation seems to be filling in the gap. Canada isn't filling up with Muslims or Satanists or whatever the current ForwardsFromGrandma email chain might suggest.

Crazy we had 2-3 maybe 3 people out of 200 in my grade that were publicly religious (as in not publicly atheist) everyone I’ve talked to in uni and beyond say the same thing

My grandparents moved here (on both sides) to get away from religion

It wasn’t until adulthood that churches started being built and it taking off

But I did grow up in a very conservative farming town. The 3 things you couldn’t be were black, gay, and religious

It’s Christians in my experience
