Why is non religious population in UK a lot higher than it is in USA?

[Kaneki05]

Because we are more progressive therefore we don't follow archaic beliefs meanwhile America was supposed to be by separation of church and State but there is a long history of Christians fighting the founding fathers on such rules leading them to never fully been successful with separation. Yet England we did successfully separate the lines while religion still effected a lot we've managed to push views manipulated by it out of our systems.

Because USA was always strongly anti-communist and communism promotes state atheism.

Fortunately we're not so easily gullible in being taken in and brainwashed by a load of complete and utter Bollox.

We are not fooled by mythology. We have no need for gods or goddesses.

Unfortunately, we still have a minority group called "Keep Sunday Special". Our government bows down to them for some reason. Many activities are still very limited on Sundays because of this.

The USA is a younger country and was founded on religious freedom and therefore that idea is still relatively new, the UK is an older country and has moved past that, I’m sure the US will change as the country gets further from its original ideology

Because we're smarter.
