And takes the concept to it's logical conclusion.

Also, Anglicanism is a broad church that goes from very ritualistic to low church modern evengelical. (The C of E church I attend being very much in the latter category) Much of this comes from the Church of England being a state church.

And on that note, following the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, the C of E has been actively working against theocratic movements such as Christian Nationalism. Why? Because of England's theocratic experiments following the English Civil War under Oliver Cromwell.
