The concept of God in America is very different than it is in England.
Because we see the horrendous outcome of religion
as being an American thing, in which the name of God has been hijacked
by a gang of psychopaths and bullies and homophobes,
and the name of God has been used for their own twisted agendas.
So that if you mention God, or a belief in God, in England,
it's almost automatically associated with that kind of thinking.
Religion's gotten a really bad name.
