Villedômain (prononcé /vil.ˈdomɛ̃/) est une commune française du département d'Indre-et-Loire, en région Centre-Val de Loire. Limitrophe du département de l'Indre, elle est la première commune traversée par l'Indrois à son entrée dans le département d'Indre-et-Loire.

Même si quelques vestiges témoignent d'une présence humaine protohistorique voire néolithique, il faut attendre le XIIIe siècle pour voir le nom de Villedômain apparaître dans les sources écrites. La paroisse, puis la commune, ne connaissent jamais un développement important et Villedômain est au XXIe siècle l'une des communes les moins peuplées d'Indre-et-Loire avec 122 habitants en 2014. Son érosion démographique, importante à partir de 1960, semble toutefois enrayée depuis les années 1980.

Canada as a nation is religiously diverse, encompassing a wide range of groups, beliefs and customs.[83]
The preamble to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms references "God", and the monarch carries the title of "Defender of the Faith".[84] However Canada has no official religion, and support for religious pluralism (Freedom of religion in Canada) is an important part of Canada's political culture.[85][86] With the role of Christianity in decline, having once been central and integral to Canadian culture and daily life;[87] commentators have suggested that Canada has come to enter a post-Christian period in a secular state,[88][89] with irreligion in Canada on the rise.[90]The majority of Canadians consider religion to be unimportant in their daily lives, but still believe in God.[91]> The practice of religion is now generally considered a private matter throughout society and within the state.[
 
A multitude of languages are used by Canadians, with English and French (the official languages) being the mother tongues of approximately 60% and 20% of Canadians respectively.[265] Nearly 6.8 million
Canadians listed a non-official language as their mother tongue.[266] Some of the most common non-official first languages include Chinese (mainly Cantonese; 1,072,555 first-language speakers), Punjabi (430,705), Spanish (410,670), German (409,200), and Italian (407,490).[267] Canada's federal government practices official bilingualism, which is applied by the Commissioner of Official Languages in consonance with Section 16 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Federal Official Languages Act English and French have equal status in federal courts, parliament, and in all federal institutions. Citizens have the right, where there is sufficient demand, to receive federal government services in either English or French and official-language minorities are guaranteed their own schools in all provinces and territories.[268]
