Yes but surely it can't be denied that religion plays a
much bigger part in US politics than in the UK. Ted Cruz in Iowa being a fairly typical example where a hardline Christian wins because of the evangelical vote.
IMO it is our non-separation of Church and State which is responsible for the CoE being a very moderate force these days and our country having a more healthy relationship with Christianity.
