British Law takes precedence, and a law within a religious community cannot contradict what the Law says, so, but there are distinct differences.
The most obvious example is Divorce, I can think of at least 3 religious beliefs which have different divorce systems in place (Sharia, Judaism and Jehovahs), all 3 are recognised by the Uk.

Could've fool me with how much you right about it.
I, like you, have a list of apologies I shall make just before the train crashes into me. Just in case. They the gods (collectively) are forgiving as they are supposed to be, then it'll work just fine.
I don't believe in a higher power in any form. I do believe we evolved into what we are and we'll "devolve" and, in time, the whole process with start over.
I agree that religion has been used like the fear of the dark. You're afraid of what you can't see and we were brought up to be afraid of god (You do good, heaven, you do bad, hell) It's a fear of the unknown that drives it all and some people thrive on it; they need to feel loved.
