I wonder if this is precisely why the British population as a whole has been able to settle into being only socially religious: no underlying fear of oppression, no bogeyman for the more aggressive individuals to use to motivate the masses at the polls. God's already protected by the government, so he doesn't need the average person evangelizing for Him.
