Moral Hazard
Oppressing the 99%

As for the rest of Canada, I am mostly unsure. I believe I remember reading that Catholics are the largest single Church in the country, but that Canada is in fact a protestant nation because of all the protestant churches amounting to more than the Catholic contingency. As far as influencing Canadian politics, well, I cant say that I see it in a day to day basis at all. One of the largest Churches in Canada is the United Church and they are in fact quite liberal and don't seem to complain much about anything.


I don't like to contradict; however, in the interest of accuracy...
according to the 2001 census Canadian religious affiliations;
43.6% Roman Catholic
29.2% Protestant Christian (note; United Church is the largest of the protestant churches at 9.5%)
16.5% No religious affiliation
2% Muslim
1.1% Jewish
1% Buddhist
1% Hindu
.9% Sikh
1.6% Orthodox Christian

Wait.. How is that contradictory to what I was saying?

Edit:

Oops, the Protestant comment, I see now!

Ok well good for us then, Catholics4lyfe.

Reading the exchanges between the two of you really goes to show how personality conflicts shape discussions though, as you and I have civil conversations on similar topics and Alex and PKCs dealings are normally rather congenial.


I'd say you're spot on there...as usual. Alex and I don't get on because personality wise he's basically a bastard

Nice sig too I see...

yeah, these conversations would be rather boring without their input that's for sure.

I appreciate that.

For the record, I have no interest in converting any one from anything to anything else; I post in an attempt to further understanding and (hopefully) clear up some of the misconceptions many on all sides seem to have.

Ha, touche salesman. It's probably some creepy combination of the two though, to be fair. Without all the fasting and giving up alcohol for Lent to be closer to God.

Well, and to be honest, there is a gulf of difference between people who are simply religious, and people who believe that religion deserves the guest fucking throne in our schools, federal and state governments, our laws, our media, etc. As was covered by Alex and Moral so sufficiently, the politically-motivated religious are an entirely different animal. And I know you are smart enough to know the difference.

To be honest, I think institutional religion is bollocks just by the mere fact that faith is supposed to be personal. The utility of theology and Pastors/Priests/Rabbis is to ask vital questions, not to provide vital answers.

So yes, I would agree that the politicization of religion is bad.
