Interesting. There are certainly different streams/versions of Jewish faith. I was thinking more about Orthodox Jews. To me "Christian" is a lot more diverse so I'm surprised this is somehow so fundamentally Christian vs. other religions.

Canadians who identify as religious are overwhelmingly Christian (53.5%)[1], with most of that being Catholic. The next most common religion is Islam at just 4% and Judaism is a paltry 0.9%. You're simply more likely to get anecdotes from the religion that is the vast majority.

In general, even the religious in Canada aren't very religious, so those who actively identify as it are likely to be _very_ religious. I have not a clue what religion any of our close friends are.

Canada becomes about 10% more agnostic/atheist every 10 years, which is a fun pattern[2].
