Regarding the OP question in particular:

"polls have shown that public opinion in the United Kingdom generally tends towards a suspicion or outright disapproval of radical or evangelical religiosity, though moderate groups and individuals are rarely subject to injurious treatment."

 

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_the_United_Kingdom

In particular, look at the statistics and you will see overrun is hardly the case.

 

As the OP wanted a non-religious vibe/atmosphere... :)

I don't think you can escape the fundies, no matter where you go.  I though growing up in Utah was bad, so went to school in AZ.  Ended back in Utah for first 5 years of my career, and was convinced that it was still a bad place for my family.  Ended up in Texas and discovered that it is just as bad about it-- maybe worse.  I think it is more important to be near family and close friends.  Communities like this one let you connect to the more diverse community.
