During The American Revolutionary War, the state religion of Great Britain was Christianity?

The King considered himself the Law itself, authorised by God.

Has our moron Izzy shamelessly sneaked in once again, I wonder?

That 's not the question. Look again.
I asked whether u are DEFINING the Divine Will to be whatever the King wants?? (for instance: to win a war)

My definiton about the Divine Will has been given in that reply:

Yet why religious people, including these kings and queens are so devoted to worship of God? One of hypotheses is that there is perhaps a religious module in our brain which makes you feel being fondly loved, well protected, divinely guided, and in your dedicated worshipping, leads to spiritual orgasm that is much like sexual pleasure (see Saint Teresa of Avila).

The spiritual pleasure derived from God worshipping would have entrapped you in religion, whether you are common people, kings or queens.

This spiritual pleasure is also much like that induced by narcotics,
in which a drug taker has the hallucination that he can have what he wants.
The God Delusion induced by religious dedication has the same effect.

I don't think this to be an intelligent and educated answer to my questions, but I have to accept it as it is.

What was the purpose of the parliament? Who annulled the old parliamentary sovereignty and when?

The Parliament existed to monitor and exhort the King, whose ambition led him to consider himself the Law itself, to act under the Law. It is a check-and-balance mechanism for the politics in a monarchical state.

I'd thought that you referred earlier to the Parliament of England? Which country and what period do you mean now? To what " monarchical state" are you referring? (A Monarchy can be of various forms, so a generalisation is impossible.)

David and George have a clear mind to catch nuances, you do not, Walter Hinteler. Watch them and learn.

See Sam Harris, Dave.

Such question would be suspended for the time being.

Who the hell is Sam Harris ???

1. Please indicate the reason for such suspension.

2. In contemplation of having answered YOUR questions,
reciprocity seems fair and in order.

People are arguing whether the king was appointing his decisions with this imaginary ruling of god, when the founding fathers ran from this very predicament. I'm quite sure that is all the evidence one needs, lest he whose heart lives in fear over freedom denies thereof.

Yes still secular. Yet still guided by God, because the King believed that all his power was bestowed to him by God.

I suspect that the doctrine of the Divine Right of kings expired with the end of Charles Stuart. Charles II was installed by Parliament, after his dad was murdered by Cromwell. I doubt that Charles II alleged that he had been put into office by God.
When the Hanover Dynasty took over, it was a matter of inheriting real estate, not a theological event.

Though inheriting, the preparations for ascending to the throne are not simple. Kings or queens have to swear their devotion to God and pray for God's divine help: par for a state religion course.

"The King is dead. Long live the King." = a monarch accedes to the throne the moment their predecessor dies, not when they are crowned.
(All those e.g. English/British monarchs who weren't crowned at all, were still legal regents!)
