1951: 98% of Canadians describe themselves as either Protestant or Catholic. 2011: Fewer than 70% do.
In sound, word and image, Radio Canada International portrays the challenges and the reality of religious diversity in a democratic country. 
// Start the experience >>



Over the years and centuries, religions have developed their own language with a rhetoric, vocabulary, references and taboos specific to each one.
The 15 religious communities featured in this Web project use dozens of words and expressions that are not fairly comprehensible.
As a result, producing a comprehensive glossary of religions in Canada is not easy. We had to make editorial choices and ultimately include only six terms for each religion.
We consider these 90 terms necessary to understand the reports presented or to shed light on a specific faith. To our list, we added 10 words related to religious coexistence in Canada so you can better understand intercultural dialogue in our country.

Everyone knows that anything to do with religion is a delicate subject, complex and open to diverse interpretations.
The ambition of this Radio Canada International project is not to look at religions per se, but
rather to examine and understand how different religions coexist in Canada.
Through audio and video features, interviews with religious leaders and the round-table
discussions, we seek to highlight the spirit of religious diversity in a country that has no official
religion and promotes multiculturalism. We also try to show how democracy and religion can
coexist in a population of diverse origins.
The written content – glossary, bios and “Did you know?” bits – helps fulfil these two ambitions.
The idea is to provide brief, practical keys to understandng religion in Canada.
Our objective is to inform, enlighten and stimulate our listeners, viewers and Web users. We
welcome your comments, criticism and suggestions to enhance our project.
