Be more specific, there are many different Christian sects.
They range from very High Church to the happy-clappy type.

Yeah the first guys right- there's too much difference to generalise. I haven't been to a US church and I've only been to some churches in the UK so I can't give you a full answer. If you go to an Evangelical, Baptist, Congregational, Presbeterian, Brethren Assembly sort of thing they won't all necessarily be sound teaching from the Bible but you'll probably get a bit of singing (but not happy clappy), a bit of praying (but you don't have to) and a talk based on the Bible. Might not be the most entertaining service but should be true to God's Word which is what matters at the end of the day...

i have actually witnessed quite a few different sorts.
i used to attend an evangelical Church
and a baptist
and i also worshipped at an American Church
there are many different types.
the closest to the American is probably the evangelical
but i guess there are many different sorts in the States too.
I think that generally the American Churches are a bit noisier
but that's ok bcos we are told to make a joyful noise.
the baptist services and also the Church of England services are a bit more reserved, i.e quieter.
i used to like being able to clap or dance, as one does, from time to time!
that's about it really.

Religion in general in the UK is very liberal-there isn't a lot of emphasis on liturgies or symbolism etc. in most British protestant churches and the sermons are also likely to be more liberal than those that American Christians expect.

Depends. I would inagine teh catholics are the same the world over.
The Anglican church is split in to High (very similar to RC), and low - more like the protestants.
Or you can go baptist or methodist and probably more. I think there are even a few JWs and mormons around.

Depends on the church - are you refering to catholic, CofE, high CofE, pentacostal, gospel, methodist, adventist, Greek orthodox, etc etc, etc.
Also this question requires experience of US churches, which I assume are just as varied.
Sorry not to really be able to give you more help, but I think the question is a little vague.

If you are talking about a Catholic Mass, then the basic elements are the same all around the world.
The language and music would be that of the culture of the believers.
With love in Christ.

I'm a British Quaker and its quiet and unprogrammed, quite different to some US Quaker traditions, although as I gather fairly similar to others.

i prefer american evangelic church services, they have amazing choirs and seem to be well attended.
