It's a difficult question whether Christianity is the state religion or not, there's no real answer. Britain (or the UK) is secular, but England (and Wales?) are Anglican. So does this mean Britain is secular, theocratic, or both?

As for whether it should be or not, I don't really have a problem as Christianity rarely, if ever, has any say in our politics. On top of that our head of state is also the governor of the CoE, so it may cause problems if we become fully secular anyway.

I think I'm fairly content in having a state religion, as long as it stays out of the running of the country.
