Land of hope and glory for me.

I quite like the religious mentions in our anthems. After all we are supposed to be a christian country.

But it doesn't reflect the majority of the populace anymore.

ooh, a chance for some pedantry....

I think the last ONS had it at just over 33 million classifying themselves christian, UK population is 64 million

so strictly speaking it does reflect the majority

but probably only for the next 18 months or so (on the presumption all those east european immigrants are atheists and muslims)

Well Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Bulgaria etc are all majority christian and Catholic countries so that figure will actually rise.
