At the very least, there should be a referendum on the "lords spiritual" and the existence of the house of lords itself, but as recent events show, the Tories won't allow such a thing to happen.
There is no definite figure on the proportions of various religious affiliations. The 2011 census hasn't been published, and there are various surveys that have given a wide spread of statistics. One in particular is interesting, which was done by The Guardian newspaper in 2006. The results showed that 63% of people asked were not religious, but a third of these still identified with christianity.
I am really looking forward to the census results, I would imagine we'll see a decrease in Christian, an increase in Islam, a decrease in 'don't know' and an increase in Atheist.
