Stealth version of the "Canada is a Christian Country" line?

Historically Religious Belief in Canada has declined as you travel West and North. 

Canada was built by Free Spirits who didn't want Priests or anyone else telling them what to do. (Bibby, 1986)

Only 30% of Canadians are still Religious. Stats Canada always gets the numbers wrong, on the Census, and on their General Social Survey. Clerics laugh when asked to reconcile the Stats Can imaginary belief numbers with churches closing for lack of attendance and cash support.

Even Stats Can admits that Nothing is the fastest growing response to their question. They fail to adjust for people giving socially conventional answers when the government asks the question, recording the response along with the name, address, and other personally identifying information.

The USA shows the same geographic trend, Alaska is the most secular, least Religious state.
