I say Canada is the most anti-Catholic, (currently.)

I would say that places like Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and the like are far more anti-Catholic than any of the choices mentioned, therefore I simply cannot answer that poll. I find the proposition that any of those 4 countries are ‘anti Catholic’ rather offensive actually.

I respectfully disagree, as a Canadian Catholic. I too did not answer the poll, as I believe it is a matter of conjecture unless a person has actually lived in all 4 places and thus has a basis for comparison.
Do you live in Canada?
Because I do, and while there are difficulties and some anti-religious (not necessarily anti-Catholic) sentiment, I do not have RCMP running after me for my religion.

If one hasn’t spent a signficant amount of time in each country, I don’t know how any of us can particpate in the poll.

Have you worshiped in all of these places? If not, what are you basing your opinion on?
A quick wiki study shows 43% of Canadians listed their religion as Catholic compared to 25% in the US.

I think you’d have to be clear whether you meant the laws of the country or the atmosphere of the country before anyone could answer, and if the latter, as others have mentioned, the only people who could answer would be those few people who have lived all four places. And since this is a changing subject, they’d have to have lived in all four places relatively recently–it wouldn’t make sense to compare the France of the 1980s with the US of today, for example.
I’m not at all qualified to answer in any case, since I have only lived in two of the countries and know very little about the laws in France and the UK.

Canada has it to a small degree and only as a side effect of Great Britain’s laws. Because the Crown of Canada is vested in same Sovereign as the Crown of Great Britain, Canada’s monarch also cannot be Catholic. In a country where equality is held in high esteem (such that some groups are more equal than others), this poses a bit of a problem and some have tried to point this out. Even PM Harper touched on this topic at least once before.

I’m not so sure I would rely on the true accuracy of statistics between those who call themselves Catholic and those who devoutly follow and adhere to the strict teachings of the Catholic Church. In the end only God knows that answer.
I really don’t see any substantial valid claim to make a bias statement laying claim that Canadian Catholics are any more anti-catholic than American Catholics, British Catholics, or French Catholics from France.
The massive Evil infection of Sucularism, Moral Relativism and Modernism effects all Christian Faiths equally.
From a personal humble opinion as a proud Canadian I’ve always looked up to many American Catholic brothers and sisters having a strong Catholic Faith. Something you have to witness yourself not just in meeting warm beautiful people here at CAF, most whom are Americans and many special people too from so many other nationalities.
I’ve traveled many times all throughout the U.S. meeting Catholics, relatives and non-catholics. Traveled to London, England and Dublin, Ireland.
I find you always have to open enough to look for the best in people instead of dwelling on the negative.
There’s enough ruddy negativity watching TV newscast and reading bias one sided reports from journalist in a newspaper.
Stay positive and you’ll find beautiful Catholics everywhere. Only negative deliberate blindness prevents us seeing goodness.

The same is true in Alberta. I have met many wonderful Catholics from all kinds of ethnicities, from the Latin Mass, the Ordinary Form Masses, the Ukrainians, etc. There are also “liberal” Catholics and non-religious too but Canada as a whole doesn’t have any official anti-Catholicism. There are some thuggish “Human Rights Tribunals” but they’re more for pushing (or being pushed by) the other agenda rather an attacking Catholicism per se.

Canada is. I’ve never been there, or to any of the others that were listed -but Canada is by far the most anti-Catholic of the bunch.
Proof?

A rather one-sided bias negative claim. What makes you make such a thesis. Pure popular hearsay?
The Poll suggestions given by the OP are overly bias and worthless.
That’s why I didn’t think it was worth voting.

… Alright, you caught me -I’m just being a troublemaker. 
Canada’s surely no more or less catholic than the US, and its a pretty country. Sometimes I can’t help myself on silly threads like this…
I see. And you thought you’d just joke about this without indicating your intentions with an appropriate smiley, such as
