Canadian newspapers show less interest in religion, because we Canadians are less involved in organized religion, and less likely than Americans to discuss our faith in public forums. One of the reasons for that is the difference in our cultures. Evangelical Christians, with their fervour for sharing their faith, have created a nation in which President George W. Bush can go on television and call on God without blushing. In Canada’s public square, the Catholicism of its founders, and the ongoing tension between francophone Catholics and Anglophone Protestants have shaped culture.

Church attendance has also been declining since 1946, when two out of three Canadians reported attending religious services weekly; now roughly one in five Canadians attend weekly, and there is less reader appetite for news about in-house church affairs than there once was. Yet Canadian religiosity stacks up well against countries like France, where about nine per cent of the population say they attend regularly, and Britain, where weekly attendance is now around 10 per cent.

The Centre for Faith and the Media is an independent, non-profit organization to inform, advise and help media and the general public achieve a stronger understanding of spiritual history, practices and values in Canadian society.

The Centre provides non-partisan resources to journalists and the public to enable a more accurate and fair portrayal of faith in our midst. It conducts research, creates guides and other reference works, and operates an online site to enable broad access to information.

The Centre is based in Calgary but has a national board of directors from academia, media and business. Its initial financing has been provided by Canadian Heritage, Department of Multiculturalism.
