A new poll suggests more Canadians than ever believe religion does more harm than good, but even the pollsters disagree on what the numbers mean for the future of faith in the country.
Ipsos Public Affairs surveyed 1,001 Canadians online from March 20 to 23 and the results suggest more Canadians are moving away from formal religions.
About 51 percent of respondents agreed that "religion does more harm in the world than good." That's a seven-point increase from a similar survey in 2011.
"A couple of points of shift is not a big deal because that's all in margin of error, but when we have changes of seven points in six years ... that's a significant shift," said Sean Simpson, vice president of Ipsos Public Affairs.
