Rates of religious non-affiliation and non-practice have been rising among many Canadian populations for a number of decades and generations now. These well-known trends are the starting point for this year’s Edgar and Dorothy Davidson Lecture, given by Associate Professor Sarah Wilkins-Laflamme from the University of Waterloo. Dr. Wilkins-Laflamme will examine the nature of these trends in more depth, key explanations in the sociology of religion as to why they are happening, what it could take to potentially reverse them and the (non)likelihood of seeing such a reversal of these trends, and where we are likely headed with religious non-affiliation and non-practice and their impact in the years to come.
