Maybe so, but I wasn't talking about that.

I'm saying that in the UK, you have to swear allegiance to the Queen, who also happens to be head of the established Anglican Church, in order to do a whole host of things, from being a MP, to a policeman, to serving in the army, etc.

Some Christians and indeed atheists might not be happy with that.

For some positions the discrimination is even more outright. For example, you have to be in communion with the Church of England to be monarch.

This happened in Sweden?!?!
