No, because the French secular model has ultimately undermined religion and the right to freedom of religion to the extent that any form of religious identity in public is criticized, illegal or shunned. Instead of a religious person being able to become a leading politician or Judge, secular ones are promoted. Secular has come to mean atheistic. Religious figures have succeeded in Britain, no matter their religious affiliation. Britain's system has ultimately created real freedom, while France tries to remove create a religious free society. Not all religion can be kept to the confines of a house, such as the issue over the Hijab. A secular Britain would not provide greater religious equality for the ''minority'' faiths at the expense of Christianity, but would damage all faiths. Ultimately, if it isn't broken, then don't try to fix it. If we were to become a secular state the monarchy would have to be replaced, as well as the introduction of a great deal of change, which goes against British historical development.
