Question

What is the most popular religious group in the United States? Explain how this differs from Canada. Why do you think

the most popular religious groups in the two countries are different?

Answer 1

Answer:The most popular religious group in the United States is Protestant. Over 50% of all Americans who are members of an organized religion are Protestants. This differs from Canada, where the majority of citizens are Roman Catholic. The reason for the differences in the popularity of certain religious groups is because the US and Canada were influenced by different European countries. The first settlers in the United States were English, from a country that was primarily Protestant. Canada was first inhabited by the French. France was a strong advocate of the Catholic Church, and its influence was spread by the early Canadian settlers.
