Should Jesus be a part of Christmas? Here's what Canadians think

There are two kinds of Canadians whose unusual views about the importance of Jesus in Christmas celebration place them in quirky but significant minorities, according to a new poll.

First, there’s the 10 per cent of Canadians who do not believe in God at all but nevertheless think it is important to remember Jesus at Christmastime.

The second group is the 18 per cent of Canadians who affirm a belief in a god but do not think it is important to remember Jesus at the festival of his birth.
