It matters for as long as theists rule. Your country has an official religion, and it is not without clout.
Not only are 26 seats of the House of Lords occupied ex officio by archbishops and bishops of the Church of England, but a significant number of members of both houses believe that your country's policies must be morally sound, and that there is no morality unless it is ordained by God as revealed in the Bible.
It's kind of difficult - impossible, actually - to expose theism as a bullshit foundation for policy making unless both theism and atheism are defined.
