Unfortunately, it may be to little, too late for the Archbishops & the Cardinal & their flocks
ELTON JOHN: 'I WOULD BAN RELIGION COMPLETELY'
"Sir Elton John wants religion banned completely.... Speaking to the Observer Music Monthly Magazine the singer said religion lacked compassion and turned people into "hateful lemmings".The PRESS ASSOCIATION reports: In a candid interview for a dedicated Gay issue of the magazine he shared his views on topics as varied as being a pop icon to Tony Blair's stance on the war in Iraq....
"From my point of view I would ban religion completely....Organised religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into really hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate."

The Archbishop of York has condemned what he called the systematic erosion of Christianity from public life. Dr John Sentamu told lay leaders illiberal atheists were undermining Britain's religious heritage.
Related to this, both the Anglican and the Roman Catholic leaders of England wrote the forward of the document '"Doing God": a Future For Faith in the Public Square. ' "The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, and the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, have jointly backed a new religious think-tank in an effort to change the climate of opinion about the importance of faith in society."

Good thing that no one gives a rat's ass about Elto John thinks.
Thanks for the comment; I couldn't keep up this herculean effort of merely posting links to the web without the support of my reader.
But seriously, the problem is that many, many, many people care what Elton John thinks. And some of those people live in N. America too. And they affect elections immensely, for starters.
