I bet 60-80% of people in the UK are Christian - the vast majority. We're not talking about going to church here.
I looked it up. 71.6% identify themselves as Christian. That's pretty close to Israel.
You can wish it to change, but you need to be realistic. That was exactly my point. Feel free to work for change, that's a good thing. Just don't be shocked if it doesn't happen.
Remember, what's being talked about here is a Christian Fundamentalist speaking at a political rally. This is exactly against (in my opinion) the USA's doctrine - The Constitution - that espouses separation of church and state. If not the letter of the law, then surely the meaning of it.
The UK is a Christian country. That's true until it is not. When it is not, then your argument has little to disagree with.
