Majority of former and current Christians in Canada agree that the Bible is sexist

“Among Canadians who identify or grew up as Christian, there are few who deny the Bible is showing its age when it comes to its views on gender, sexuality and race.”

According to a study by the Angus Reid Institute, a majority of former and current Christians in Canada believe that the Bible is sexist, with 55% of Canadians agreeing that the text is anywhere from “a bit sexist” to “very much sexist.”

Just 26% of Christian-identifying or Christian-raised Canadians say that the Bible is not sexist.

“There is ongoing reflection on the content of the Bible against the values of contemporary society. Among Canadians who identify or grew up as Christian, there are few who deny the Bible is showing its age when it comes to its views on gender, sexuality and race.

More than half of Christian-identifying or Christian-raised Canadians say the Bible is dated when it comes to gender politics, with 29% of that group saying it is ‘quite a lot’ or ‘very much’ sexist.”
