Mario,
Canada is now a post-Christian society.
The majority of people go to the places of worship
only for ceremonial services.
Laws are made by secular law makers and no longer
encompass Christian thought. In fact, it is atheist
thought that influences the laws of the land. For
example, same sex marriage is legal.
I believe the atheist influence on the law making
process to be a good one and a counter point to those
who blindly follow religious leaders. We DO NOT, for
example, have religious leaders who advocate the
"taking out" of Presidents of other countries. Such a
person would be classified as a morally disturbed,
here in Canada.
