"The poll also found that despite their views on whether or not it’s harmful, Canadians are very tolerant of others’ religions. Nine out of 10 respondents said they were “completely comfortable being around people who have different religious beliefs than me.”
Interesting. I suspect the same would be said in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but suspect a different answer in the USA, and obviously, in the Muslim world.

BBM~~
AS a Canadian I totally DISAGREE with such an assumption in your Title~~ and the premise. You even mention the the tolerance and even 9 out of 10 believe to be "completely comfortable being people who have different beliefs than me"
So what's your question??? In Canada we believe that religion and Politics for that matter is a private matter and only discussed during election cycles amongst small circles. Canadians hold dear their right and other's rights to have and hold their personal views.
It's obvious that Canadian and American Politics is far different .. Especially when it comes to spreading false informations.. trolling others with that and promoting via bot-type propaganda. It's NOT as prevalent as it is in the US.. Canadians, believe it or not are far more informed about their local/Provincial and National Political happenings. We also have a multi-Party venue.. which means, much like UK and other Democracies... Whomever gets elected as "Leader" MUST seek support of other Parties in order to conduct business..
The above bolded statement explains the essential difference with the USA Democracy... 2 Party system "Pits" it as RIGHT or LEFT... and those of opposition have to support whichever side.. regardless if their leader is a "TRAIN-WRECK" . Right Left in American Policy is now exposing Polarizing agenda's.. Canadians elect representative that represent their views.. Not Liberal/Conservative alone!!
Best, Op figure out.. Canadians have absolutely NO resemblance to American Politics.. In fact, since Trump took over the WH.. WE are in total fear of having such a Self-Serving Aged Narcissist, and lining his pockets on the backs of lower and middle class.. makes us actually depressed with empathy!!

Other than about 37% of the population, most Americans, and most people in the rest of the world, are pretty sure that the orange faced kumquat that is inhabiting the Oval Office is as dangerous individual as exists.
Regardless, I thought it was an interesting survey. Call it confirmation bias, but I have long felt the same.

The title comes right out of the reports findings, 51% find religion does more harm then good and that this percentage is rising. How can you then claim that the title is then misleading. I would also claim to be part of the 9 out of 10 who am not uncomfortable being around those of different beliefs, or lack of believers. I would not be surprised to find that a larger percentage of that 1 out of 10 are of very religious groups. As an atheist I probably be more comfortable with religious people who are comfortable with those of different beliefs than with atheists who were not. As an Alberta I hate the polarization that has occurred due to a non conservative being premier and wished that civility would return to the dialogue and death threats beat a hasty retreat. I also think our politics are more split on regional rather than religious basis.
Yet another reason I'd give my right arm to become a citizen of Canada. Hell, if I had to give half of my assets to the Canadian government to do it, I'd still take the deal.

Being a Canadian is just like being rich, the easy way is to pick the right parents. ☺
Religion viewed as doing more harm than good in Canada
Of course. The the spread of wilful ignorance and superstition SHOULD be viewed as harmful.
Indeed, it should.
If it weren't for religion, we would have landed on the Moon 500 years ago, instead of 50 years ago.
