Reply to comment by CalgaryChris77 in Immigrant children born in Canada are less likely to follow religion [OC] by cangeola

I think it is ‘factual’ to say that second generation Canadians are more likely to be non-religious.

But I do get your point. You’re asking whether the ‘pipeline’ for religions other than Christianity has been established in Canada long enough to make use of this data? And if it can be linked with parents in anyway?

Yes, second generation Canadians are more likely to be non-religious.

But to me this implies that people are losing their religion by their second generation, which I don't know if you can prove or disprove from this data.

There have been people from other religions immigrating to Canada for many years, but what used to be a tiny minority is growing much faster now.
