Reply to comment by ChiefTea in Immigrant children born in Canada are less likely to follow religion [OC] by cangeola
Every household gets the basic Census, and 1 in 5 households gets the long-form Census (which asks many additional questions, including about religion).
Religious affiliation is simply answered by the respondents - we self-identify which religion we believe in or indicate if we have no religion.

Got it, thanks! Curious to know if the sampled data can be biased. Would religious people be more likely to fill out the census? Questions like that

You have to fill out the census by law.
