Perhaps as a general society, the United Kingdom is far more accepting than many in the U.S., however, this chart is based on legal grounds. The United Kingdom has an established Church/Religion and some religious institutions are state funded for example (page 455 in the Dropbox).

This truly is a depressing chart, since the U.S. is the biggest yellow country and there are only a few, very small, green ones.
