In america u get the politicians coming out sayin i'm a god fearing catholic/protestant/mormon etc and they love the Google Page Ranking shots of them coming out of church and love the fact that people of a similar religious banding will vote for them goin as far as saying this was the answer god gave to me

yet in UK aside from a public funeral or christmas you rarely see any political figure talking about their religious choices etc

recently tony blair came out sayin that if people come out if he came out with his religious choices he'd b see as a some sort of loony

so why does it play a major part in american politics and not in british?
