Christianity is the largest religion in Canada, with about 53.3% of the population identifying as Christian according to the 2021 census. Roman Catholicism is the biggest denomination (29.9%), followed by Protestantism (11.0%), with smaller groups like Eastern Orthodox and other Christian traditions making up the rest. The United Church of Canada and Anglican Church are prominent Protestant branches.

Historically, Christianity shaped much of Canada’s culture, education, and legal systems, with missionaries playing a key role in early colonization and Indigenous relations. However, its influence has waned since the mid-20th century due to secularization, immigration-driven diversity, and declining church attendance (only 15% attend weekly). Quebec, once heavily Catholic, has seen a sharp drop in religious practice post-1960s Quiet Revolution.

Challenges include aging congregations, fewer young adherents, and controversies like residential school legacies, prompting apologies from churches. Meanwhile, non-religious Canadians (34.6%) and other faiths (e.g., Islam, Hinduism) are growing, especially in urban areas. Christianity remains vibrant in some communities, with evangelical and immigrant-led churches showing resilience.
