Once again the UK is a secular society. Politically you can call it a "Christian country" with the Royal Family and de facto state religion of Anglicanism. However, as a whole society we function as a secular country, where religion plays very little (if any) role in the everyday life of the average Briton. We are certainly more secular than The USA is, despite the American constitution itself being the most secular in the world. There's a difference between saying "we are a secular country" and actually being a secular country. The USA claims to be secular but isn't, while The UK claims not to be but it essentially is on a societal level.
The hardcore Christians of the UK are an incredibly small and fringe minority of white British people. In fact it's so rare to hear hardcore Christianity in a British accent that I double-take when I hear it.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
