I was going to ask if African-Americans in Atlantic Canada were more aligned with the religious demographics of those in the Southern U.S.
I believe African Americans in Mississippi, Alabama, etc. have one of the highest church attendance rates of any demographic in the country. Definitely not my experience with Jamaican immigrants in the GTA where most would be baptised and raised with a slight affiliation to the church, but not many would describe themselves as religious after leaving their parents' household.
