Is Canada a Christian Nation?
It was a mere one hundred and fifty years ago — in the year 1867 — that Canada first became a nation. During the country’s early and formative years the prevailing views on morality were based upon and drawn from the Holy Bible and served as the primary influence in the spheres of education, politics, religion. And this is the reason for Canada's stability and prosperity in the past: it began as a nation founded upon Christian principles. Unfortunately, our country has moved further and further from this good beginning and today Canada can no longer be considered a Christian nation. Marriage, the family unit, the sanctity of life, and the Christian faith itself are being trampled underfoot. This country is quickly removing whatever Christian values remain. Canadian culture is rejecting God and, as a result, we cannot expect continued prosperity unless it restores Biblical principles. |
