No worries there, I jest about moving to another country to escape the religious folks I am surrounded by because I live in a unique area and situation in Canada. Freedom of religious expression is alive and well where I live but though this may sound like a desirable ideal to some, it is a major nuisance to a large segment of the populace here.
I always found it interesting that the most secular countries in the west afford their citizens the best quality of life but unfortunately this fact is lost on those in our societies who would impose their beliefs on us.
In Norway religion is considered kinda unimportant to most people.
About 70% register as atheist/non-religious and most people don't care or want to hear about religion.
It's simply a non-issue most of the time because just about everyone recognizes that religion has nothing useful to say on things like laws and education.
In fact, being a devout religious person and doing things like going to church every Sunday is considered a bit weird around here.
But it is equally recognized that religion is a private matter and that everyone is free to follow (or not follow as the case may be) whatever religion they want.
One thing we do take seriously though, is freedom of speech, and it is rightfully considered to be essential for a working democracy.
In fact, to avoid making money for campaigning too much of an issue we have all but banned political commercials on TV, and if you decide to start your own political party the state will help you do that by providing you with funding based on how many members your party has.
