Oh jeeze, whine, whine . . . the people here can defend themselves, in the first place; in the second, christians are always on about virtue being its own reward, so you shouldn't expect to be congratulated for doing what you believe is the right thing to do; finally, you weren't attacked, you were criticized for not applying to your own anectdotal evidence the same sneer you had just leveled at Phoenix--get a grip and develop a sense of proportion.
Somebody get the boy a crying towel, and let's all sing a rousing chorus of
Poor, Poor Pitiful Me . . .
Edit: I've spent quite a while in Toronto, and there is no evidence of any more of a religious atmosphere here than in any other North American city, and in fact, there is a high proportion of Muslims and Hindus here, as well as a fair representation of other beliefs. You have no case to make, you're just whistling past the graveyard . . .
