"Only in the UK do people worship a living god in the form of a monarch"
Steven Preece
Only in the UK do people worship a living god in the form of a monarch so willingly and without question in a seriously antiquated manner.

Thousands of people cheering and celebrating an individual or institutions sounds remarkably like worship to me. May not be on all fours but concept is the same IMO

That may be your 'concept' of worship Steven but it certainly isn't mine. Next you'll be saying the likes of Take That are pseudo gods as thousands of their fans scream etc. at them.

People, the Monarchy vs Republic debate will run on. Leaderships are obsessed with pursuing their ideology, They want to be right all the time..Great leaders do the right thing.

@Steven Preece. Are you sure you're not confusing the British with the Japanese/Chinese, who have worshiped their Emperor(King) as a living God.

@Steven Preece. With a few exceptions the British tended to believed in a monarch's divine right to rule. So please can you add some addition info to your 'worship' claim

Actually the older terms such as 'appointed by God' meant being hereditary.

The pope believed that he was the link to god on earth then when this country split with Rome at the time of Henry VIII he then took that job on. The Egyptians kings believed they were gods on earth. Caligula thought himself a god It seems to be a royal trend to link themselves to gods or divine.

Which job? As I'm sure you are aware, the head of other churches is very distinct from the catholic ideas, and the differences between catholicism and protestantism were more than simply allowing divorce, one change of which is that the head of the church is not a direct link to God as nobody else. This is why acts such as intercession are rarely if ever practiced outside of Catholicism. I'm not a Christian and I know this.

whilst protestantism as a faith was also being formed around the same time, alot of these ideas came across from Germany and were adopted as you into the English church as you probably know.

No doubt offsprings from Lutherian churches I'd imagine. However, the decision to break with Rome was a political rather than religious decision.
