What do England, Denmark, Norway, and Iran have in common?
Ummm. You’ve never been to any of these countries?
I’m from England and the “Church of England” is by no means sponsored, except in history, which is totally meaningless. English politicians rarely/never invoke God, or “faith-based initiatives”. It’s about as secular is you could possibly imagine (or dread, in your case). To compare England with Iran, in religious terms, is just asburd and shows a lack of understanding of England’s history and current religous makeup. Iran is a muslim-led country, England is a Christian “flavored” country, and the flavoring is very weak indeed.
Talk to a few English people about going to church, how the church fits in with political life, and they’ll probably stare at you blankly wondering when you’re going to deliver the punchline.
