Also, since my father was a brit I can offer my observation on the difference in religion. He was CofE for years and years yet always came to mass with us though never went through the motions or communion. Religion was viewed by both my parents as a personal issue, not something publicly discussed as nearly every aspect of life in America generally tends to be.
In the last few years of his life, dad finally converted to Catholicism and things got weird which I generally attribute to his knowing his time on the planet was drawing to a close. After his death he wanted to be interred in a crypt so to ensure his resurrection...even my mother didn't know about this.
Americans live their life publicly and the English tend to live it more privately and can handle a bit of tolerance considering religion has been a boil on the ass of the UK for quite some time now. We also prefer movies have a happy ending too.
Just be glad you don't live in the states where getting offended by the blurring of the separation of church and state in the 'god bless america' everywhere you go can get you nailed as anti-american.
Remember, if it sinks it's dead and if it floats, BURN IT! :)
