Religious plurality in Quebec is a fact

. In a new book based on a major in-person survey, a misconception is debunked: there's actually a wide diversity of religious beliefs in what's supposed to be "secular" Quebec. CONTENU - As you walk along the streets of Montreal, you'll pass churches turned into condos, spas, university buildings, libraries and more. Quebec, it might seem, is a secular society born of the Quiet Revolution in which native-born Québécois are now mostly atheists and the only people practising religion are immigrants. Well, think again: a massive anthropological field survey on religious pluralism in Quebec, done over a 10-year period, demonstrates this is far from true. In fact, there's actually a great diversity of beliefs here. In her research on the issue, Université de Montréal anthropology professor Deirdre Meintel supervised the work of 70 research assistants and studied over 230 religious groups in Quebec to produce and edit a new French-language book called La pluralité religieuse au Québec .
