People do not, normally, pry into other people's beliefs in Toronto.

Some people may have icons or the like at their desks.  I know that one
of my co-workers is an atheist, one is an Anglican, and one is some sort
of protestant Christian -- this is through casual remarks about what
they were doing or not doing (e.g. at Christmas).  I have no idea at all
regarding the rest of my workplace.

For all practical purposes it is entirely possible to ignore people's
religious beliefs, or the lack of them.
