Gotta have faith: Findings show religion still vital to Canadians

You could call it religion's hallelujah.
Though certain faiths remain in dire straits, a new report finds rumours of the death of Canadian churches to be greatly exaggerated -- particularly when it comes to Catholic and evangelical denominations, which are actually flourishing in light of recent immigration patterns.
