Britian is no longer an ANGLICAN nation. Seems the bishop confuses the “Church of England” with Christianity as a whole. There are large numbers of devout Christians in England. They just tend to be Catholics and other Protestants rather than the “official” religion of the nation. Guess Henry VII’s efforts to start a religion so he could divorce another wife didn’t work out that well 500 years later.

“There are large numbers of devout Christians in England. “

I lived in England from ‘89-92. For your statement to be accurate, a massive revival must have taken place.

Big Secular Anglicans(social club folks)are post Christian! The Anglican Church is divided the followers of the Old Prayer Book are as devout as ever. Many young families too!

You mean Henry VIII.

It was Henry VIII, not Henry VII, and he didnt “start another religion”.

The break with Rome was purely political (and economic). He changed the Church in England from being Roman Catholic to being English Catholic. There was no change in any other theology, indeed he persecuted protestants very heavily for much of the rest of his reign.

It was after Henry that changes in belief came about.
