It's worth saying that England is one of the least religious countries in the world. Very few people are active attenders, and the Church of England has been in precipitate decline since its (rather late) high point of 1926.

This is the original home of agnosticism, and more than a few CofE theologians will happily tell you that they do not believe in God, other than as a metaphor for man's wonder. -- James Heartfield
