Is the Queen of England an Atheist?

Answer 1

Her Majesty the Queen is the titular head of the Church of England as she is the reigning monarch (the spiritual head being the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the ultimate head Jesus Christ). As a result she is expected to attend Church of England functions and services, and national state religious occasions.

However, she and her husband Prince Philip are also a regular attender at church in her own right, and she has a strong Christian faith, attending frequently the private chapels at her holiday retreats in Balmoral, Scotland, and in Sandringham, Norfolk, and her chapel at Winsor.

I was fortunate to meet Her Majesty last year (and shake her hand!) when she visited my own church on a visit to my home town in the UK. When we spoke, I was aware of a lovely, friendly lady, but one who still, even in her 80s, has her finger very much on the pulse judging by the searching questions she asked. She is certainly a remarkable lady, and 'religious' in the right, Christian, sense of the word.

Answer 2

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is Supreme Governor of The Church of England, and is a regular church-goer.

Answer 3

Well she is the head of the c.o.e so yes she would be christian and her other family members

Answer 4

Although the Queen of England is the Protector of the Faith in for Anglicans there is no "official" statement as to her religious position on Atheism.

Answer 5

No she is not Catholic. She is a member of the Anglican Church-in fact she is in charge of it as "defender of the faith"
