    It's against UK law.

    The UK, as a state, is Sectarian.

    Only a member of the Anglican Church can be head of state.

    It's one of those stupid backwards laws that have existed since the middle ages. Would be wiped in no time if the situation would ever arise.

    There's never been a Catholic PM either.

    Blair had to wait until late he left to convert to Catholicism.

    You're either trying very hard to not read my posts or just desperate to try and prove a pointless point.

    So ****ing what? We're not like you brick-throwing *****s or our northern skirt-wearing pineapple spotters, we don't give a **** about religion <ok>

    There has been changes recently. The face the head of state has to be Anglican wasn't one of them. It isn't about what you think and I believe you don't give a ****.

    I'm just stating facts.

    Yet anyone other than an Anglican cannot be head of state of the UK.

    I'm reading your posts alright, you're giving opinions, I'm just stating facts.

    I don't really give a **** as I'm a Republican and wouldn't want to be a monarch anyway.

    No you're not, you're putting up a fictional scenario and I'm answering with a fictional scenario.

    People, in ENGLAND (sorry, need to be more precise with people like you), DO NOT GIVE A **** ABOUT RELIGION.

    Get it?

    Cheers,

    You're wrong though.

    No quite true. The monarch is not just head of state but also the head of the church of England. They are not head of any other church in the UK i.e the church of Scotland. Therefore it is England that is sectarian not the UK.

    How could a catholic be the head of a protestant Church?

    At the end of the day all organised religions are sectarian.

    Yeah I was dumbing it down a bit but you got my point.

    All religions are sectarian of course but would you agree that the UK state is fundamentally sectarian considering only a member of a certain church can be head of state?

    No. The Catholic Church and the Vatican State are sectarian.
