Then yes, it does affect them as well, I don't understand how people are so dumbfounded by that fact.

The only way Stats Can manages to make it seem like Quebec is more Christian than most provinces is by asking a biased question.

In the census:

`What is this person's religion?

Indicate a specific denomination or religion even if this person is not currently a practising member of that group.`

Well, considering our Catholic history and the fact that children were pretty much all getting baptized until the 90s, what do you think is the answer to that?

How about wearing a wedding ring on the left hand 3rd finger? Since the 9th century, that’s primarily been a strongly Christian tradition, therefore arguably a symbol of Christianity?

The catch is that the separation of state and religion is seen differently in Quebec compared to the rest of Canada. In Quebec everyone is made equal by getting religion out of public institutions (ex.: a judge can't wear a religious sign), in Canada everyone is made equal by being allowed to ask for religious exemptions (ex.: turban wearers don't have to wear a helmet to ride a motorcycle in Alberta).

Quebec passed a law to prevent certain public servants from wearing religious signs (teachers, judges, police officers...) and the rest of Canada didn't agree with them.

No catch, but some people don't like that it affects women who wear hijabs.

Frankly, I'm not even Quebecois and I agree with the law. If you're going for your driver's test and you're obviously gay, you're going to feel pretty nervous if your tester is wearing some fundie garb, whether it's a hijab or a cross around their neck. Worse still if you're going to apply for welfare.
