And 2/3 of people just don't care.

Two-thirds of those polled had not been to church in the last year, except for baptisms, weddings or funerals - but 53% identified themselves as Christian...compared with almost three-quarters who had in the last census in 2001. Regular churchgoing was also three times higher among adults from black ethnic groups than white.

I think the US is a pretty good indication of the sway that religion today can still hold. And by 'respect' I suppose I just mean an understanding and appreciation of the huge influence religion can have on society - the UK, in the grand scheme, is very secular - at least in terms of organised relision - in comparison to (I'd hazard to suggest) most countries of the world.
