ANY country where the religious people are not in control of the Govt like here in the US. I’d prefer a country that would charge less taxes than in this country.

Immigration is very difficult to these countries!! You just can't walk in and announce that you're moving there!
I had to follow a rigid set of rules to even get my PR here.
This place ain't so perfect here either though!! .
Side note: whites are supposedly so evil, yet refugees and migrants all seem to flock to white countries, cities and states!

Most leftists thought America was already great but should always strive to be better. They are also more likely to acknowledge that other countries can also be great. A lot of countries do certain things better, no country does everything better. Why are righties so opposed to studying what works elsewhere so we can make improvements to our own great nation?
Conservatives believe America was greatest in the 1950s and are doing everything they can to force our society back there. According to them, America was greatest when white Christian men were in all positions of authority, gays were in the closet, women were in the kitchen, the Bible was taught in every classroom, and Andy Griffith was sheriff.

As for the original question, I'd say Canada today. It was the USA before Trump and this evangelical Christian takeover of our government.

Any country that doesn't run detention camps where children are separated from their parents and placed in over-crowded chain-link cages.

There’s a statistical report called the “Human Development Index” that ranks the different factors to list overall the best countries in which to live. The United States ranked #13 and the U.K. was #14. Here are the countries listed 1-12.

1. Norway
2. Switzerland
3. Australia
4. Ireland
5. Germany
6. Iceland
7. Sweden
7. Hong Kong
9. Singapore
10. Netherlands
11. Denmark
12. Canada

The lack of universal health care was probably while we were so low. I’m pretty sure that all of the countries listed above have it. The HDI is calculated factoring in life expectancy, education and income.

I’m not saying that I’d necessarily agree, but that’s how it plays out in computer based studies.
