Moreover, in the UK, where we have no separation of church and state, there is little of the militant christianity you seem to have in the US.
Little but a growing amount, sadly (and worringly). Not just amongst the Christians either - the Sikhs and the Muslims have both showed signs of wanting to flex their muscles lately.
Maybe we just become sick of having it shoved down our throats as children.
So are you old enough to have experienced school assemblies in the '60s and '70s with the interminable hymn singing and prayers? Mind you, that format was preferable to the attempts by the with-it and hip (hah!) Christian teachers to drag assembly into the modern age with acoustic guitars and sing-alongs
