While it may be true that Americans are on average 'more Christian' than British people, it should also be pointed out that a) they dont have government-funded religious indoctrination programs (eg catholic schools), b) they dont have an official state religion, and c) their constitution makes explicit a seperation between government and religion which is non-existent in UK law. and d) large parts of their country havent spent most of the last few centuries engaged in petty sectarian bickering with related terrorist activities. Its swings and roundabouts really.
