I always found it interesting that in the UK the state and church are heavily linked, I frequently was made (well, not forced, but everyone just did) pray at school...
And yet the UK is a very irreligious country, teh C of E is a standing joke and the most religious people here are immigrants (there are more practising Muslims in the UK than Christians I think)
The US has this big deal about separating church and state, and is the most strongly religious industrially advanced nation on earth.
