So as a result religiosity (proper word?) is very low in Quebec. The most popular religion is Catholicism which is prey notorious for its apathetic followers, also Quebec culture promotes secularism you may have heard of a stink made over hijabs at girls soccer games . <BR/><BR/>the patThe Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412481817266615576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10199920.post-63760593935568990862007-07-11T17:23:00.000-04:002007-07-11T17:23:00.000-04:00Gert, it could be due to a language barrier too.Zo...Gert, it could be due to a language barrier too.<BR/><BR/>Zooplah, I understand your point.

The YEC movement is after all a predominantly Anglo-Saxon Protestant affair. In most of Europe the whole Creationist idea is met with ridicule from all sides. But a few yokels did try and get a YEC foot on the ground in predominantly Protestant England (they weren't successful).<BR/><BR/>So this may be more the result of a cultural divide than anything else.
