Montreal - Religion
For a major North American city of its size, the Catholic population is visibly high as hundreds of churches dot the streets of Montreal. Over 84% of the population identify with the Christian heritage, the vast majority of them being of Roman Catholic heritage mostly due to the heavy numbers of French, Italian, Irish, and Portuguese inhabitants in the city. The Protestant and Orthodox presence which is much smaller are chiefly those of English, Greek, and Lebanese peoples. However, since Quebec's Quiet Revolution in the 1960s, very few francophone Quebecers practice their religion. The proportion of practicing Christians (especially Catholics) in Quebec is now significantly lower than the proportion of practicing Christians in the rest of Canada, or even North America.
Non-Christian religions are very large as well. The largest non-Christian group is now Muslim and is mostly composed of fairly recent arrivals. Montreal's Jewish community, while in decline, has had a huge impact on the cultural, artistic, economic and gastronomic life of the city, dating back to the mid-18th century. There are also small Buddhist, Sikh, Bahá'í and Hindu communities.
