Importance of religion to Canadians:
The Pew Research Center has conducted a series of studies called "The Pew Global Attitudes Project." They is measuring the "impact of globalization, modernization, rapid technological and cultural change and the Sept. 11 terrorist events on the values and attitudes of more than 38,000 people in 44 countries..." A poll released on 2002-DEC-19 revealed whether people around the world consider religion to be personally important. 1
Results from the 41 countries sampled showed that the percentage of the public who consider religion important ranged from 97% in Senegal to 11% in both France and the Czech Republic . They found that the percentage was:
59% in the United States
57% in Mexico
33% in Great Britain
30% in Canada.

I come from Canada,I also am able to accept these foundings as most likely correct.Coming from Canada to the U.S. it is evident as to how much more religion plays upon every day life here in the states.
