Thanks Yoshie. I didn't dig far enough into Tim's link. These are exactly the relevant figures. And they seem to show clearly that the political significance of church-going is that it's a wash. Only by taking the extremes and ignoring the middle could Wallis fake a case that something decisive is going on or needs to be undertaken. It seems that both parties' currently very different strategies for balancing religion and secularism are having almost exactly equal success.
