Question 17: Religion
Information on religion is used to trace fundamental changes in Canadian society. When combined with age data, information on religion is used to assess the need and potential for separate religious schools in some provinces. Federal and provincial human rights legislation depends on this information to protect Canadians from discrimination based on their religious beliefs.
Print a specific denomination or religion even for persons who are not currently practising members of that group.
For infants or children, indicate the denomination or religion in which they will be raised.
For persons who are members of a specific group within a larger religion, specify the particular name or term for this group.
For persons who have no connection or affiliation with any religious group or denomination, mark the circle labelled No religion. However, specify atheist or agnostic if these forms of belief apply.
