God Save the Queen, actually. And it's generally recognised htat the
embarrasment of having a State Church in a country where (a) at least half
of the indigenous population is non-church going and (b) efforts are being
made to promote multiculturalism is part of the reason why there is a
moratorium on bringing religion into politics.
Furthermore, a significant number of monarchists (not to mention republicans,
i.e. those who advocate the abolition of the monarchy) advocate the
replacement of God Save the Queen with, for example, Land of Hope and Glory,
or even "Imagine," by John Lennon. The religious contingent advocate
"Jerusalem", which is where the phrase "[England's] Green and Pleasant Land"
originated.

No, because if you were me you'd realise that's only somewhat funny and not
unfunny enough to deserve an ironic "HAHahahaha, eTc.
"

Apparently Jedi garnered something like 200,000 adherents, and wasn't put on
the census despite the Government's own claims that any religion which garned
over 100,000 adherents (i think) would be put on the list. I wouldn't say that
means "the majority of non-church-going [Brits] were Jedi Knights", though;
the majority of people in Britain are non-church-going, and hte poulation of
the UK is around the 59 million mark (49 million or so of whom live in England
proper, i.e. not in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.)
