flag Study shows young Canadians view religion negatively, seeing it as anti-intellectual and a barrier to freedom.

flag A study reveals that the decline of organized religion in Canada is linked to a significant shift in how younger Canadians perceive religion. flag Terms like "anti-intellectual," "cultish," and "superstitious" now commonly describe religion, especially among those aged 15-35. flag This negative perception developed after the 1960s, influenced by the expansion of secular higher education and progressive movements like feminism and gay liberation, which viewed religion as a barrier to individual freedom and authenticity. flag Additionally, religion is often associated with the U.S. Christian Right, further contributing to its negative image.
