Resilient gods : being pro-religious, low religious, or no religious in Canada  Cover Image Book Book

Resilient gods : being pro-religious, low religious, or no religious in Canada / Reginald W. Bibby.

Summary:

"Are Canadians becoming less religious? After playing a central role in our lives for nearly a century, religion seemed to be losing its salience in Canada. But there is more to the story. Resilient Gods takes an in-depth look at the religious landscape today. The picture that emerges is not one of religious decline but rather of polarization, with the numbers of "pro-" "no," and "low" religious in flux. Using the most current information available, Bibby explores the implications of religious choices for personal and social well-being, spirituality, and attitudes towards death. The questions he asks are compelling and the answers thought-provoking whether one embraces the gods or not."-- Provided by publisher.
