The aim of this article is to display some elements that will help analyzing the religious issue in Quebec, through a study of the lasting interactions between history, heritage building and identity recognition. It will try to assess the way religious heritage is being defined in Quebec, through the study of the role of cultural administrations, more particularly the Ministry of Culture in Québec. After a quick survey of the situation of the various religions in Quebec, it will study more precisely the measures put forward by the Quebec Ministry of Culture in order to identify and let religious heritage of the province (and more particularly its intangible aspects) be more widely known.
