Story here; and a whopping 51% believe that evolution alone doesn't account for our origins - however, this would include intelligent designers and theistic evolutionists as well as 6-day YECies. I know the proportions are much higher Stateside but it does at least indicate that we Brits are not as irreligious as some people think...
One in three Brits is creationist

Well, compared to Germany, I guess you're right...
The Body of Christ is not big in Europe. IMHO -

Depends where you go; I think secularism is on the march everywhere in the Western World. I don't think any of us can afford to be complacent.

In my family in England, religion is just nothing to get excited about. They couldn't care less about creation, evolution or , "Hey, did ya here that Susan down ta road just had a baby....!" sort of thing. That is religion. A few keep a Bible on the sideboard. They may even open it to add another family name.
I used to go home for a month every year. During that month, I preached in various Anglican churches around country side. Some walked for miles to attend each Sunday. As time went by, I noticed that fewer and fewer attended. Those that did attend were quite dedicated to their beliefs.
Cheers,
