I don't consider the British right-wing religious, most of them aren't. Right-wing politics in the UK is centred more around white/British nationalism and identity politics.
Christianity might be dragged into it when opposing Islam, but that's the only purpose it serves to the right-wing agenda. It's not genuine and they don't give 2 shits about Christianity. It's just something they pull out occasionally because "we are a Christian country" suits the moment.

"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
