Far-right activists in Britain are increasingly adopting the rhetoric of Christian nationalism. Yet while they look to American churches for an example, their evangelical style seems unlikely to map onto Brits’ quite different attitudes toward religion.
Color me shocked that this is happening in a state with an established church and members of the clergy sitting in the legislature.
Britain has a secular government which pays lip service to a religion.
The US has a religious government which pays lip service to secularism.
In Britain, there are currently 23 Lords Spiritual, out of 1402 legislators.
In the US there are 0 openly atheist members of congress, out of 535 legislators.
