It is not a bother @ all
I can say that I have been and lived outside the shores of this country before, I have seen all sorts and knows how it works over there but that doesn't mean I will abadon my beliefs or bomb others that believe otherwise. I pray for wisdom to discipline my children in that environment so they don't turn out gay or that they don't get shot by an unstable person in school or anywhere else and I need more than calculation and their policy to do that and it still doesn't mean that I am more righteous than others.
We think they are not spiritual, lots of christians are impacting lives internationaly, we listen to gospel music, read books, watch christian movies by people from that country and we say they are not spiritual. What they don't do is go to church and claim to be what they are not, the environment is condusive for you to be anything you want to be, christian, jew, illuminati, muslim etc. So yes to calculations, estimation, analysis and all but we still need prayers and God irrespective of where we find ourselves, Nigeria, Canada, US etc. That is my humble opinion based on what my little brain can comprehend.
Congratulations on your MR!!!

Its not my intention to bother u but that what u hate that he said exactly is the truth. You better know that fact now. That country is looking that beautiful and organized based on calculations, estimations, factual analysis and extensive research and u have to get used to that if u are going to Canada. Do u really think they fast and pray or pack themselves in churches before getting things done? Before building bridges, cleaning the streets, creating employment for everyone and giving benefits to their citizen? U will understand when u get there
U must be ready to work with a lot of folks that may be very nice and helpful to you but do not believe or care about God. They will respect u with ur belief in God but have to also respect them for not believing in God. Religion out there is at family/community level because u have the right to. But When it comes to policies and politics, religion is inconsequential. they make decisions based on- the "physical"
If u don't have this understanding now, u might have a big culture shock when u get there. U may not agree with me of course but that's my advice to u.
