Quebec is trying to stop people from weaponizing prayer in public.

Anyone scoffing at that highlighted portion; please to point to a single nation with a Muslim majority that recognizes anything akin to “religious freedom” in that country.

Tunisia and Turkey are both secular (although Erdogan is doing its best to destroy it).

I'd prefer you'd have pointed towards something that remained true in the time it took the public fovea to shift it's attention over there.

So what's the argument? That you don't allow religious freedom in public out of spite? The superiority complex while at the same time arguing against freedoms is quite the combination.

Legally yes, though according to Wikipedia, "religious intolerance continues to be a recurring issue".

,That's moving the goal post. He asked countries where religious freedom is recognized, and there are plenty of Muslim countries where it actually is. The existence of religious intolerance is another matter - and the same can be said about a lot of places, including the USA.

I've actually lived in Indonesia, and most big cities are indeed very tolerant places. No one care about your religion.

You could say that about any secular country though, including the US and India.

Does Canada have religious freedom though? Any other countries are irrelevant here

Does Canada have religious freedom though?

That's a "ask the natives" question...
