Religious Affiliation Changing in the United States

A recent report by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life reveals that Americans are changing their affiliation to religious beliefs and communities.  Read these informative studies at: 

The report, including a detailed executive summary, methodology and topline questionnaire, is available online (http://pewforum.org/docs/?DocID=409). For the original "U.S. Religious Landscape Survey," visit http://religions.pewforum.org.

If the same studies were done in Canada, what might they reveal?  We won't have national religious affiliation statistics until the 2011 Statistics Canada Census when the "religion" question will be asked.  But certain trends are evident.  What do these shifts look like in your city?
