Data is from here (I think): https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2021/dp-pd/prof/details/page.cfm?LANG=E&GENDERlist=1&STATISTIClist=4&DGUIDlist=2021A000011124&HEADERlist=32&SearchText=Canada

I could not find who made the map.

    It rains so much in Vancouver that it convinces people that there is no god.

    The data from Quebec is not entirely accurate as many people put down that they are Catholic despite not having gone to church in years.

    The most recent count by Piper’s group found that of 2,751 places of worship — of all denominations — in the province inventoried in 2003, about 965 of them, or 35 per cent, were listed as being “in mutation,” meaning they had been closed, demolished, sold or had found new uses.

      Yea, there needs to be an “other” category in the very least. Otherwise I think the data isn’t super meaningful.

      I don’t think every study can/should enumerate every possibility. So when they don’t have an “other” category it forces findings into the wrong boxes and becomes misleading.

        You only need an “other” category (or anything else) for the map if that “other” is the largest group. Because that’s what this is showing: the largest group.

        If you look at the data that was used, they have Muslim. Hindu. Other. Etc.

        None of it made it to the map because in no region is this the largest response.
