America, most of Europe.
Next.
Oh, by practicing a non-Christian life you mean desecrating everything holy and offering it to the altar of hedonism?
In that case, just Europe. Thankfully not America.

By "practicing a non-Christian life" I mean doing anything that doesn't hurt non-consenting parties.
Europe is not a country, BTW.

There are many different degrees of what is considered hurting people. Please provide an example of what you wish to do that is restricted here.

Pretty much every single Arab country has a small christian minority and the Muslims and Christians co-exist fine.
Non-Arab speaking African countries such as Nigeria...well thats a different story.

The Philippines (90% Christians). I know. I grew up there. But if you go to Southern Philippines where it's mostly muslims (10% of total population) you will get your head cut off. Seriously.

All of them as far as I know, with the exception of war zones (in which case no one is safe anyway).

Pretty Much all of them
FYI
Lebanon Is 30% Christian and 70% Muslim (they had a war 25 years ago but are getting better now)
Egypt is 10% Christian and they are treated fine
And not all Christian countries are perfect either, you can look at Kosovo or Bosnia to see atrocities commited by "Christians" against Muslims as there have been stupid Muslims who try to kill Christians as well in their countries.

Why does it have to be things I want to do? I said "someone."
Well, gay people would like to get married. Some of them want to adopt kids. Sex toys are still banned in certain areas. I believe sodomy laws are done away with, but were still in affect until 2003. A number of drugs are illegal; gambling is illegal in most places, as is prostitution. These laws seem to be mostly backed by religious folks who enjoy obsessing over other people's personal lives. I don't know many atheists who think all of these things should be banned.

So you don't have any laws like the ones I mentioned?

Of course, just like how all christians are member of the KKK and go around burning crosses and hanging blacks, and all muslims are suicide bombers that target public markets. Or is it only acceptable to generalize a group by what a minority of its members do when it suits your goals?

No, their community has been getting hit hard with discrimination for at least the last 30 years and its getting worse each year.
