How about Saudi Arabia or any other Muslim country?
How about the atheistic nation of China?
Oh yeah, would you like to try India?
People tend to vote with their feet.
Why is that?
I'm fine living in majority Christian nations, as long as they're ruled by secular law. I've lived in the US my whole life, though I definitely prefer the more liberal areas to the Bible belt (I've lived in both). Most nations with lots of Christians are very secular these days, which is a good thing. That's probably the biggest thing where I wish the US would take after Canada or western European countries more.
I love your intentionally misleading list of non-Christian nations. Even if you ignore the secularism of majority Christian nations, it's not like the only other choices are theocratic Muslim countries, socialist China, or poorer countries like India and the third world. Among others, you seem to have conveniently left out Japan, which is possibly the least religious country on Earth. And really, there are things about China and India that I'd be attracted to, though neither's my ideal place to live.
That's MISTER Godless Vegetarian Tree Hugging Hippie Liberal to you.
