This used to be a Christian country once, but a door had been opened for the enemy to enter and set about change which you see the result of this country's moral decline today.

My guess:
The UK was under a theocratic monarchy for quite a long time. Maybe some of them passed on to their children that religion should NOT be integrated with governmental law.
So, since they don't try to change the laws of their country based on religious beliefs, I'm sure that seems strange to many in the American religious right and is interpreted as not being "far away" from God.

Whether or not the UK seems far away from God is subjective, by the reason why you percieve them to be far away from God is probably because they have a high percentage of people who don't believe in a higher power.

First we need to determine which God we are talking about here. Are you referring to the real God, the unconditionally loving God who we are all a part of? This is the one Jesus was talking about when he said the kingdom of God is within you. The one who is our dearest friend and closest companion.
Or are we talking about the angry little judgmental God that lives on some far off cloud called heaven. The one who seems to be more concerned with our errors than he is with our successes? You know the egocentric needy little God that always wants people to worship him. The one who is always unavailable because he is only a fantasy? You need to specify if you want a real answer

Oh my. The whole world is far away from God. The United States is about as far away from God as you can get without someone advocating, legislating, and putting forth a bill proposal to change the name to Sodom and Gomorrha.

Only 5% of the UK population are devout Christians.

Maybe because Anglicanism isn't meeting the needs of the people. Then as a result too many people view God as useless.

God doesn't have much relevance to me (in the UK).

Marxism. The people in europe have foolishly taken marxism into their hearts (the same idealogy that created the nazis, communism and the associated genocides). They are doomed.
