Canada is a multi-cultural country and this is reflected in the diversity of religious practices. Seven out of every 10 Canadians affiliate themselves as either Roman Catholic or Protestant. For more than 100 years in Canada, Protestants outnumbered Catholics. In 1901, Protestant faiths accounted for well over one-half (56%) of the total population, compared with 42% for Roman Catholics. This change reflected immigration patterns at the time.
