As a Frenchman, I also can't see how you can call the UK "atheist" :p

BUT, I do think the number of religious extremists is lower. (I haven't lived in the UK though).

It's like when I hear people here (I live in the Netherlands) that they are not a religious country. The fact that they have several political parties with Christian root (and still being actively referring to them) among other things tell me otherwise ...
