Canada Church Facing Extinction

While not a shocking headline from Canada, buddy, the numbers are still pretty startling for flapping godheads to the north. A retired marketing expert published this data:
  • from 1961-2001 Anglican numbers plunged 53% from 1.36 million to 642,000
  • The Anglican church continues to lose 13,000 members a year
  • United Church of Canada fell from 1.04 million to 638,000 in the same period
Also it is not the case Canadians are joining other churches.. all denominations are declining and the numbers of nonreligious/secular are "rapidly increasing". Read the article here at Ecumenical News International. See people? We can win the War on Dumb.
