Night Terror, I note that you repeatedly state that British law is based on Christianity. It isn't. Basic precepts of morality existed long before organised religion, stemming from Darwinian imperatives such as the survival of offspring and from the protection of property, while the foundations of localised common law were laid long before Christianity began to seep into Britain in the 6th century, much of it influenced by the Roman occupiers.
Further, the constitution (yes, we do have one, all you doubters - just not in the form of one silly piece of paper set to become the focus of debate and cause trouble for centuries) and accompanying body of law continued to grow organically thereafter, based on pragmatism, contingency and considerations of social control rather than religion. If anything the Church could be a thorn in the side of the state. Remember Becket?
If you fancy viewing examples of the ways in which Church and State presided over very separate domains, they're all over The Canterbury Tales.
