Protestants were scarce in New France primarily due to the French government's strong support for Catholicism, which was seen as a unifying force in the colony. The French Crown actively discouraged Protestant settlement, fearing that it would undermine the Catholic Church's influence and create divisions within the colony. Additionally, the harsh treatment of Huguenots (French Protestants) in France led many to avoid migrating to a predominantly Catholic territory like New France. As a result, the population remained overwhelmingly Catholic, reflecting the religious policies of the time.
