"Christian. Muslim. Jewish. Buddhist. Religious. Or not? With a greater number of Canadians than ever before identifying as nonreligious or 'none of the above,' the landscape of belief in Canada is changing rapidly. Understanding these changes can be a challenge, and can leave us with more questions than answers. What do religion and secularity look like in Canada today? How did we get here? And more importantly, where are we going? Join Humanist Canada's host Daniel Dacombe in a 3-part conversation with sociologist and professor Dr. Sarah Wilkins-Laflamme to discuss her book "Religion, Spirituality and Secularity among Millennials: The Generation Shaping American and Canadian Trends," and learn what the science says about our growing nonreligious Canadian identity."
In today’s episode, we join Humanist Canada's Daniel Dacombe in the 1st of a 3-part conversation with sociologist and professor Dr. Sarah Wilkins-Laflamme as she turns a critical eye on Western history in general, and Canadian history in particular, to explain some of the factors that set the stage for the emergence of the Millenials - the most secular generation to date.
