Why does England use God save the queen as it's national anthem? England is now a multi-cultural society and i reckon that christians are not the highest represented 'religion' in England.
What else could we have?

It has no relevance to the nation.
It is a german tune and the words were originally written to praise a german king of England.
It is about time we had something that mentioned the nation instead of one person.
Even the Nazis didn't take the cult of personality so far

You must remember that the UK is not a secular country, and Christianity is the official religion.
Until recently there was almost no one who wasn't Christian anyway. But, although I think people should be allowed into this country, I don't think they should be allowed to try and change its age old traditions, they should respect our country and our anthem.

It`s always been there always will be until William gets to the throne, then I expect there will be a lot of changes. I just hope it`s in my lifetime, unless his father does what his granny is doing, mind you I have been expecting our Queen to give the throne to William, well I can dream can`t I

somethings never change at one time you would stand to the tune the queen is the head of the church of England, Wales ,Scotland and northern Ireland, so until she decides to change it it will stay the same
