Well, it kind of is meant to be. People pretend it is. It mostly acts like it is. If you bring religion into politics, you will be a laughing stock.
But I know technically it isn't at all. Hence all my guillotine jokes. It's just more secular, in practice, than some actual secular countries.
Maybe it will be, pretty soon, then the fucking church of England finally gives up the ghost and dies. It's dead already, it just doesn't know it. Like when Ken from Fist of the North star does his thing...
Do remember the Anglican Church has dedicated seats in the House of Lords. The Supreme Governor of the Anglican Church? The Queen. Who has the power to essentially veto parliament at any point?
You guessed it.
People like to think the UK, in practice, is relatively free from religious influence. I think the truth is quite the opposite.
What's our national anthem again?
