Canada is a sparsely populated country in the northern half of North America, with the majority of its land territory being dominated by forest, tundra, and the Rocky Mountains; about four-fifths of the country’s population is urbanized and live near the southern border. The majority of Canada has a cold to severely cold winter climate, but the southern areas are warm in the summer. The country is officially bilingual at the federal level. It is one of the world’s most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, which is the product of a large-scale immigration from many other countries. Canada has the tenth highest nominal per capita income globally and it ranks among the highest in international measurements of government transparency, civil liberties, quality of life, economic freedom, and education.

Canada is religiously diverse, encompassing a wide range of beliefs and customs. Canada has no official church, and the government is officially committed to religious pluralism. Freedom of religion in Canada is a constitutionally protected right, allowing individuals to assemble and worship without limitation or interference. The practice of religion is now generally considered a private matter throughout society and the state. With Christianity in decline, after having once been central and integral to the culture and daily life, Canada has become a post-Christian, secular state. The majority of Canadians consider religion to be unimportant in their daily lives, but still believe in God.
