Atheism is also increasing in Canada.
This link goes to an excellent site - Menu: Religious makeup of Canada:
The Canadian census has questions about religious affiliation.
Results for "Atheists, Agnostics , Humanists, no religion, etc."
1981 7.4%
1991 12.3%
2001 16.2%
Canadians, in general, are not as religious as our American neighbours.
For example -
Importance of God in one's life (1..10)
5 or less (low importance) USA 13% Canada 31%
9 or 10 (high importance) USA 68% Canada 41%
In general, atheists probably have fewer problems in Canada.
The following link points out more religion differences between the USA & Canada:
