Is the UK a Christian country? I would say not, these days, although our recorded history is one of at least nominal christianity.

A clear majority of the population believe that they are (71.7% in England, 71.9% in Wales, no figures seen for Scotland or N.Ireland, 2001 census) but I suspect that if asked to give an outline of their faith only a relatively small proportion could make much of a coherent stab at it, such as pointing to one of the various creeds.

The proportion prepared to govern their own behaviour by Christian principles is even lower.
