It's much, much different - although it's changing for the worse here too. Religious beliefs are rarely mentioned in politics here and if they are, people are suspicious of them. Tony Blair's government famously said "we don't do God", then as soon as he was out of office he got himself baptised Catholic - the two faced, lying git.
I don't really see the contradiction there. His government can not "do God" but he can "do God" in his private and personal capacity. He always did, he was a Christian before changing sects, we knew that.
