Someone from the Church of England ( a state church). Broke away from the Roman Catholic Church by recognizing the King as the head of the Church instead of the Pope. Basically the same hierarchy, but without a Pope. This in a nutshell.

I've found this excerpt.
Faithless Leading the Faithful
Female priests in the Church of England are “far more sceptical generally than their male colleag[u]es about . . . central Christian doctrines,” reports The Times of London. A survey of nearly 2,000 clergy in the Church of England revealed that “eight out of ten male priests believe that Jesus died to take away the sins of the world,” compared with only 6 out of 10 female priests. And while 7 out of 10 of the men believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, only 5 out of 10 of the women do. Robbie Low, spokesman for Cost of Conscience, which commissioned the survey, said: “There are clearly two Churches operating in the Church of England: the believing Church and the disbelieving Church, and that is a scandal. Increasingly, positions of authority are being placed in the hands of people who believe less and less. It is an intolerable situation where the faithful are increasingly being led by the unfaithful.”

Officially they seem to be two groups separated by schism these days ther are the mean, small-minded bigots who believe God is in their image and there are the liberal ones who believe in an inclusive church.
As Christians are not bigots then only the liberal inclusive Anglicans are real Christians.

Anglicans belong to the Church of England, which is quite handy, because you don't have to;
go to church
belive in god
believe in a virgin birth
do anything
