What are the common rights among divine religions?
Divine religion in the question is based on a definition of divinity. The commonality of rights can be expressed in the perceived hierarchy of that divinity's attributes whether or not it is polytheistic of mono-theistic. In revealing the nature of the deity commonality and conflict emerge. Establishing the criteria of commonality must be universal in application and function to establish the attributes of the deity in the processes expressed. As a Christian I have discovered no conflict of the mandates delivered through Christ and have corrolated them to the exhibition of them in Hebrew [1st. covenant] scriptures. Expressing favoritism in application is anathema to the Christ doctrine of the offer of salvation. The reward system for them who have received the confirmation of salvation is the doctrines of freedom from the oppression of inequity and selfish indulgences. For the pre-Christian the offer defines forgiveness and hope. so the two agendas of God in Jesus have to phase application. This does not prevent God from being gracious in kindness toward unbelief. That is the measure of Love of which he is the expression of it. So If commonality is based of the Character of Love than
Love is the universal commonality. No other religions claim this essential attribute so they are not divine!

Who is higher rank the queen or king in England who runs England?
There is only either a King or Queen at any one time (chess is misleading). In recent years though the person who runs England is the prime minister. The Royal family do not have any power over England and have not "ruled" since 1700. England, Wales and northern Ireland (Scotland also but it is more complicated) or the United kingdom as these counties are collectively known, are currently run from the Houses of Parliament by the Prime Minister and his supporting party and voted for by the general public in elections. Parliament began around the 9th century but was called "Witengamot". Originally, it was there to advise the the Monarch (king or Queen) but gradually it gained power and paved the way for modern democracy long before America had been discovered. It also greatly influenced the early American democracy. It is for this reason that the modern parliament of the United Kingdom is sometimes reffered to as the "The mother of all parliaments". It is not strictly true that the Royal Family do not have any power over the UK (NOT England as stated above). Although the Prime Minister and his government run the country on a day-to-day basis, all laws must go to a second chamber called the House of Lords which consists of aristocracy, bishops, and people such as former prime ministers of all parties (e.g. Margaret Thatcher - who is now Baronet Thatcher), which acts as a buffer amending laws that they feel are not appropriate. And amend they do. As they are not bound by a party agenda, they often throw out laws that they feel overstep a mark or go against the wishes of the people. Finally every law in the UK has to be passed by Her Majesty the Queen who takes the affairs of state very seriously indeed. Having met Her Majesty she is a remarkable woman who, although now in her eighties, has her finger very much on the pulse of British politics, and who works incessitantly reading and signing government documents and laws. Although republicans in the UK regard her as a 'figurehead' and nothing more, she is very much involved and nothing can take place in the UK law without her permission. That even goes for the appointment of Prime Minister. After a democratic election, the leader of the elected party has to make an appointment to visit the Queen at Buckingham Palace, to ask her permission to form a government. Although her disagreeing with the British people's choice has never happened since she came to the throne ( and, knowing Her majesty's commitment to her subjects probably never would) , the UK monarch still holds the right to veto that choice of government and any law passed by the government if she felt it went against all that the UK stood for. As for 'higher rank', at her coronation Her Majesty, as well as being given the crown, orb and sceptre as marks of her royalty and governance, was also presented with a copy of the Holy Bible with the words: "Our gracious Queen:
to keep your Majesty ever mindful of the law and the Gospel of God
as the Rule for the whole life and government of Christian Princes,
we present you with this Book,
the most valuable thing that this world affords. Thus, the Queen, and any monarch gf the UK, is subject to God alone. For the complete transcript of the Coronation service I suggest you have a look at http://www.oremus.org/liturgy/coronation/cor1953b.html Answer The Queen is actually one of the most powerful rulers in the world. She alone can pass laws, declare war, sign international treaties, dissolve parliament etc. Even compulsory purchase orders are a modern evolution of the powers that allowed the monarch to confiscate the land of troublesome nobles. However, all these powers are today are used under the advise of ministers. As such, the Prime Minister uses theses powers in the name of the people (in theory). The Queen could turn round tomorrow and sack the Government and put one of her friends in place before declaring war on France. She does not do so because it would create a constitional crisis that would probably lead to a republic. The exception to this rule is if the Governemt of the day is so rotten in some way that she acts in the name of the people and calls an election. It would have to be pretty extreme circumstances to warrant such a reaction obviously, and not very likely to happen any time soon, but its a vital safeguard against tyranny. It was only in the 60s that the Queen, undoubtedly to her relief, was no longer responsible for personally selecting the leader of the Tory party (and therefore potentially PM).

Queen Consort is threw marriage to the King.
Queen Regnant inherits the thrown in her own right.
Upon death the thrown would be succeeded by the next in line for the thrown.
All this is the law of succession, all though rare situations have led to having two people on the thrown at the same time, Feb 1689 saw William III and Mary II of England which was authorised by the parliament.
