Christians? I thought you left this behind!
Buddhists? You're supposed to be the good guys!
It is mentioned in the source that the UK has a religious requirement for its "Ceremonial Monarch". Specifically it styles the Queen as the "Defender of the Faith".I think convention still dictates that the UK monarch is protestant rather than Catholic. (It dates back to the english civil war and the glourious revolution of 1688 with conflicts over the divine right of kings and parliamentary soverignty. It was why the brits chose George I as king from Hanover even though he couldn't speak a word of english.
True.HoweverBuddhist are certainly compared to most so called religions, the good guys.
As far as I understand it, Protesantism IS their own version of Catholicism. The Queen is God's rep on Earth, just like the Pope is for Catholics.It is mentioned in the source that the UK has a religious requirement for its "Ceremonial Monarch".

Why does she need to be Protestant? I thought the UK had their own version of Catholicism?

Ohhhhhh!!! Well look who it is!! It took this long for you to get your internet back on!?!?Wait...does that mean we muslims are the bad guys ?!
It is much more similar than other protestants and some foreign Catholics have often confused a High Anglican Service with a Catholic one. The clergy wear vestments and some churches are or can be highly decorated. Some practice the Midnight Mass. It is a complex issue.Oh, I thought the Church of England was more similar to Catholicism and distinct from Protestantism.

You are not wrong. But the Coe is still independent from the Vatican, which is the main concern.Oh, I thought the Church of England was more similar to Catholicism and distinct from Protestantism.
