Religion by province

Share of the population by major religious group, derived by Quadranac from 2021 Census counts using each area's own population as the denominator: Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Jewish, Buddhist, other religions and spiritual traditions (including Traditional North American Indigenous spirituality), and no religion or secular perspectives. The eight groups add to 100% within rounding. Catholic is also shown; it is a subset of Christian and is not part of the stacked total. From the 2021 Census of Population. Counts are randomly rounded by Statistics Canada; percentages labelled derived are calculated by Quadranac from those counts.
