Winnipeg Free Press God is still doing reasonably well in the polls.
That was the title of the most recent research by Reginald Bibby, a sociologist of religion at the University of Lethbridge.
According to Bibby, who has been conducting surveys about religion in Canada since the 1970s, 32 per cent of Canadians say they definitely believe in God while around 27 per cent say they think God exists about 60 per cent overall.
He also found 15 per cent definitely don’t believe God exists, while 26 per cent don’t think so.
As for Manitoba, Bibby found a higher number of people in this province believe God exists 42 per cent. About 20 per cent think there is a God, while 10 per cent are sure there is no God. Twenty-nine per cent say they don’t think there is a God.
