Demographics
gollark: Anyway, you should try Omniquantism, the belief that an ominpotent god can make all religions true simultaneously.
gollark: What?
gollark: IIRC the Old Testament actually contains recordings of commands by god to kill specific groups.
gollark: Not all religions say "be peaceful and not mean to each other", though?
gollark: I mean, if you believe Religion 1 and believe that everyone who believes Religion 2 will go to hell and suffer forever, then you obviously don't want Religion 2 to spread.

Notes
  1. Civil parishes served a variety of government functions until 1966, when the new Municipalities Act stripped them of their responsibilities; they continue to provide convenient boundaries for government uses, especially electoral districts and local service districts. Statistics Canada uses civil parishes as census subdivisions for all parts of the province that are not within municipalities and similar entities.
