The leader of your church has the right to dissolve parliament. She can also refuse to grant assent to a law. That's not zero power.

  That's more about the monarchy; the monarch is not the spiritual head of the church, and the fact that they are considered the lead if anything shows how the state triumphed over religion.

    Separation of Church and state is a thing in many places. Usurping of the power of the Church by the state is just as bad as the reverse.

      Agreed; I'm just arguing that it's disingenuous to say the church controls the government in this case.
