The population of the U.S. and Canada share a similar culture. Yet they assign vastly different importance to religion -- almost a ratio of 2 to 1. This may well influence the two country's divergent policies on abortion access, gun control, homosexual rights, universal health care, and other social issues.
How do you the American Christian view Canadians views on religion? If you think Canadians are heretics do you support force?

I must tell you that I had no idea that Canadians had a different religious culture. Now, I'm a bit confused: which country assigns a higher importance to religion? America or Canada? And what do you mean by "force"?

Well maybe, Canadian Christians are a lot like American Christians. We just have many more people. So we have more real ones. There are some real Christians in Canada, they are just overwhelmed, and the liberal so-called Christians are only a hindrance not a help. we have the same except we have enough good ones to make a difference. They do have their share of heretics, but don't we all.They may be a picture of what we will become if we don't do something soon. Look at Europe.

Yes there is a difference between American and Canadian English in spelling and pronunciation. Standard Canadian spelling follows British spelling in many, though not all, cases and in some parts of Canada the British English is co mingled with American English due to a heavy influence of Americans living in the area. This is becoming a huge pattern for the new wave of Canadian English grammar because many young people are influence by the media and are adopting American ways of spelling and pronunciation words. There is notable confusion on who to spell certain words - most notably center or centre. As a young girl I use to always spell it (centre) and now I find myself switching between the two because I see so many things (American products written (center).) There are many words like that - see the link provided. There is also a difference in labeling things like pop vs soda and there is a difference in pronunciation. Americans slur they words and Canadians sing it in a question format. Having said that I have been to Georgia and San Francisco, New York and Florida and I must say that even in the USA in varies among states. As it also does in Canada. New Newfoundlanders speak differently in terms of pronunciation to Ontarians etc. I hope that helps a bit

I don't believe it's an issue of American views vs. Canadian views. You have huge differences in beliefs everywhere and in everything. Even within & between the Christian denominations views vastly differ. Their will always be (no matter what country your in) what many people consider religious extremist, middle of the roaders & non-practicing believers.

There is no "American" or "Canadian" Christianity. We are all called to the same standards before God. And while I do not like Canadian policies, we would never support force against them, and do not hold the policies against Canadian Christianity.

The Canadians have strayed from the True Faith. They are heathens who worship hockey and maple syrup as their gods. Shame on them for giving out universal health care! If God wanted people to be healthy, he would have made them healthy! I absolutely support the use of force against such heretics. Invade Canada!

All people of every nation should have the right to worship or not as they so choose. Mankind can reason, and therefore they can make their own decisions. Look this up: "I may not agree with what you say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it".

In Christianity it is not population that count but the individual. It is an individualistic thing. You don't compare.
