Abstract
This article examines the transformation of religion across generations in contemporary Canadian society. Moving away from scholarly approaches which emphasize the internal consistency of religious transmission in families, this article instead analyzes religious and non-religious Canadians in tandem to decipher overarching patterns of religious and cultural change. Primarily employing qualitative data from in-depth interviews with 16 intergenerational Canadian families, the first section of this article traces the rise of pluralism in an increasingly diverse Canadian context. The second section explores the spread of progressivism (the belief in social and cultural reform over cultural conservatism) among religious and non-religious family members in the sample. The third section reflects on interviewees’ (religious and non-religious) frequent criticism of conservative Christians. I conclude that, because this progressive transformation is occurring among both religious and non-religious interviewees, it suggests a correlation with a broader cultural transformation in Canada.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
