I would say that, with regards religious identity, it's rare that a British person will mention immediately their religion because it's a little less of an important thing to one's cultural identity. Obviously, there are cases where a religious identity is screamingly obvious (chassidic Jews or practising Sikhs, f'rinstance) but, generally speaking, there isn't such a explicit dominence of religion. This is a predominantly, nominally Christian country with more practising Muslims than any other religion. By many media-based accounts, the Christian majority in America is very visible. In this country we have a visible clergy, but I think it's rare for anyone other than various archbishops ir high-profile Imams or Rabbis speaking in a nationwide context.
I'm not sure if this explains much about the Jewish question posed herewith to those outside of this country, but I think it'll make sense to those within it.
