What would be a good PoD for England to separate Church from state? Personally. I think, while it is recovering from ww2, the gov might want to nationalize the crown estates to recover economically from the war, the church and/or royal family object to this and so the decision to separate is made. I could be wrong. But what do you guys think?

So you don't think there's any PoD that would or could cause England to separate church from state?

In England the Anglican church is recognised as the state religion, which I think is what justiniano, is referring to. However that is very much a paper status nowadays. Its not like it was say ~150 years back when the Anglican and assorted Non-Conformist churches were involved in deep struggles over the former's prestige. For instance good education was delayed for a long time because the Anglicans insisted that as the state church any government organised school system must use Anglican clergy and methods in religious education in such schools and the non-conformists of course rejected that. Similarly for a long time Anglicans had a monopoly on access to universities.
However this is all something long past now.
In terms of seizing royal estates after WWII I can't see that being possible without ASB intervention. The monarchy was too deeply embedded in the country as a symbol of its identity. You would need something like a communist regime to consider something like that and it would probably prompt civil war.

like Stevep and Justiniano say it make no sense to separate Anglican church from the State in form of Laicism.
You have to understand why the Anglican church exist in first place
because a Roman-Catholic Pope refuse to divorce a English King
Who his used Parliament to assert royal authority over the English church, while the Archbishop of Canterbury annul the marriage without reference to Rome !
This let to issue who is head of the English church, the Archbishop of Canterbury or Henry VIII ?
The Parliament found solution with the Act of Supremacy, formally abolished papal authority and declared Henry VIII to the Supreme Head of the Church of England.
with transfers of property of Roman-Catholic property and wealth to new the English church making Henry VII very rich...
We have a State Church installed by a Parliament, who put there sovereign as head of this State Church.
Laicism make much sense if you want to separate State from foreign Church that want to influence you state politic
one infamous example Is Belgium were the Roman-Catholic church in Rome try to dictate Belgium politic under Christian-Democratic government.
or the murder and mayhem happen as Maria Tudor became queen of England and involvement of the Roman-Catholic church in Rome.
United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy, with direct government exercised by the government of the United Kingdom.
Not it monarch who the Supreme Head of the Church of England.
so the speration of State church from State makes no sense...

The monarch still selects the governor general for each commonwealth country who selects a large proportion of people in these countries' law making bodies. Also the state may want to nationalize the crown estates or stop subsidizing religion. |

I think your wrong here. Apart from the fact most Commonwealth states do not have the monarch as titular head of state I don't think the governor general has any role in selecting members of law making bodies in those countries. Definitely not politicians who are elected.
I'm not aware that the nation subsidizes religion, other than possibly as RE classes in school which is part of the general educational process. Pretty certain there is no special funding for the Anglican church.

Those are the crown dependencies I'm familiar with and their nothing to do with the Anglican church, basically the islands of Man, Guernsey and Jersey. You may be thinking of the crown estate, which are nothing to do with the church, nor really the monarchy as they were given up in 1760 by George III? Prior to that date
Or is there something else your referring to?
