[quote=Anonymous]Canadian again- I know I’ll get flamed for this, but I think the big difference between Canada/US is the amount of evangelicals and extremists. It’s like you only want one kind of religion here and you have to fight that your religion is the one to follow and the only acceptable path.

In Canada I feel that we embrace multiculturalism more than Americans, and with that comes religion - or no religion - no pressure. Generally we don’t give a F if you are Muslim, Christian, Jewish, atheist, or whatever. For the most part, we just don’t care. Be who you are. We don’t have pressure about religion or god or whatever.

When I moved to the us I tried going to church because I wanted to feel part of a community, but I just didn’t and couldn’t believe like Americans, if that makes sense. Too many rules. I think in the us you have more family pressure to be a believer, where in Canada no one really cares.

As Trudeau once said, a canadian is a canadian is a canadian. We don’t care what or who you worship.  [/quote]
