Dr. Reginald W. Bibby, Ph. D., is the foremost expert on the sociology of religion in Canada. He holds the Board of Governors Research Chair of the Sociology Department, University of Lethbridge. Since the 1970s he has been monitoring social trends in Canada through a series of well-known national surveys of adults and young people that are the envy of survey researchers everywhere for their scope and richness. His efforts to make his findings widely accessible have resulted in eight best-selling books, including Fragmented Gods, Unknown Gods, Teen Trends, and Canada's Teens. Over the years, he has become familiar to Canadians as well through his extensive national and regional media appearances and presentations from coast to coast.

"Until recently, that has summed up the consensus opinion in the media, in our schools, and even in our churches about the state of religious belief and practice in Canada today. Canada's foremost tracker of religious opinion, sociologist Reginald W. Bibby, has some surprising news: there are signs of significant religious rejuvenation in Canada, both inside and outside the churches. Drawing on his extensive and wide-ranging national surveys spanning the years from 1975-2002, Bibby suggests that "the gods are restless": secularization has been exaggerated, mainline Protestants and Catholics are beginning to join the Evangelicals in showing signs of revitalization, and a surprising number of adults and teens indicate that they pray and have an experience of God.
