Contrary to popular opinion, the British Prime Minister can be of any religion - for example, Iain Duncan-Smith, a Catholic, was made leader of the Conservative Party while in opposition which would have made him Prime Minister had the party won a general election at that time. In addition, [[Margaret Thatcher]] was a Methodist rather than an Anglican.  Not many British political commentators make any mention of religion, and religion is not considered a major deciding factor in elections.  The faith or denominations of party leaders is not well known.

The only relevant legislation that exists demands that the Monarch be Anglican; however, the now defunct position of advising the monarch on ecclesiastical affairs could have fallen to any member of the cabinet.  No legislation exists which regulates the religion of the Prime Minister or any other member of parliament.
