Religion raises more questions than answers for Canadians: poll

A new poll has found that 47% of Canadians believe that religion does more harm than good, while 53% believe the opposite.

Canadians are also split on whether �religious practice is an important factor in the moral lives of Canadians,� with 49% agreeing with the statement and 51% disagreeing.

The Ipsos Reid poll also found that 64% of Canadians believe religion raises more questions than answers in their personal lives and in a larger sense. However, 90% of those who said they attend a religious service on a weekly basis agree that �religion helps them find answers to what�s going on in the world an in their own life.�

Some more findings:

1. I bet those numbeers would be

more than vice-versa in northern New Brunswick where I grew up and live.

Still, I hadn't expected only 53% of Canadians believe in God, I figured into the 70-80% Small poll, but interesting.
