Thank you for you response. I just cam
back from Canada. I wrote you the day after I got back. After a few
days of business meetings in Buff. NY, I decided to take some time and head to
Canada to see the Niagara Falls. I felt a relief just being outside the
US. I can't even describe how it felt to hold money that did not have
religious graffiti plastered on it. My plans are to move to the Ontario
area by December of this year. I would still be close enough to conduct
business in NY (closer than I am now....Sidney Ohio....near the Ohio / Indiana
boarder) without having to live in a country that forces superstition on
it's citizens.
Before I make my move, I wanted the
"inside" opinion of a Canadian Atheist. I appreciate you response to my
question.
Sincerely,
Rodger

Religion is less of an issue in
Canada. We have a multicultural government initiative that promotes
toleration towards other faiths and it doesn't come across as excluding
atheists. In British Columbia, one out of every three people claim to have
no religion. However, the rest of Canada has a much higher count of
religionists. Even in the US the statistics vary enormously from state to
state. In Washington, one in every five say the are non-religious.
