Hi ben
I'd agree that religiosity is both changing and declining in the UK, with more traditional forms dwindling and being replaced in part with more charismatic / evangelical modes of worship.
However the most notable difference between religion in the US and UK is the degree to which it influences politics. Perhaps it's part of our national psyche, perhaps it is because of numbers, but religion here seems to be much less in your face and much less involved in politics. Invoking religion mobilises very little popular support and antagonises more people than it impresses.
