How do UK atheists feel about the Monarchy?

[drfuzzy]

Just musing.  I was watching "The Crown" to escape the hideousness that religion and stupidity have foisted upon Amurikka.

I respect Queen Elizabeth II - seriously.  The woman has borne a huge burden with class her entire life.  Sure, she never has to worry about
where to live and picking up groceries for dinner, but she didn't get to choose.  She isn't actually "free".

And she has that role because she - or at least the system - is built upon the idea that the sovereign is literally chosen by god.
AND she is defender of the faith!  (Why Henry VIII's actions didn't create an atheistic country is a bit of a puzzle.) 

She doesn't actually RULE.  She's pretty much ceremonial.  It's gorgeous, absolutely, but . . . 

So my questions for the day (primarily to UK friends) is:  Does your atheism impact how you view the Monarchy?  Do you think that the Western European
trend toward atheism will eventually abolish the Monarchy?  What changes do you see coming?  (Whatever atheism will change over here in 'Murikka can't
come fast enough.)
