Well like I said earlier there is no separation of church and state in Canada, that's a US thing. In Canada our parliament building is full of bible quotes etched into the stone, and the values you are portraying like "All are free to worship or not as they choose" is a Christian idea based on Jesus's teachings to forgive love and be kind to all people, and if someone doesn't want to hear the message to "shake off your feet and be on your way" (Matt 10:14). This is in stark contrast to other faiths like Islam and Judaism where non believers are discriminated against. Fundamentally the government needs some kind of basis of morality, otherwise it turns into relativism soup, where people are allowed to rape and assault people because "it's part of their religion/culture" like in Europe. By contrast in Canada the criminal code doesn't care what religion/culture you are, if you commit a crime, it's a crime, it's not relative, it's absolute, and it's based on Christian ethics.

Some people were just basically told they were Christian by their parents without further elaboration, and due to school policies where it is forbidden to let anyone know about Jesus' teachings to forgive, love and be kind to one another, they never learned about them. So you can be that shining light that informs them about the articles of their faith, and who knows maybe they will even be grateful to you for it.

Mark Carney has a daily devotional each morning which is done in private. His public prayers are in alignment with Jesus's teachings:

Jesus also said: “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” — Mark 16:15 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” — Matthew 5:14 “Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16 “What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.” — Matthew 10:27 “Everyone who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven.” — Matthew 10:32
