Americans of English ancestry have been a minority since the late 19th century. Even if you ad Irish and Scottish, they are still a minority.
I grew up in the suburbs of NYC and didn't meet one person of English ancestry as a kid.
I am not an expert on demographics but I do know that approximately a third of Australians have Irish ancestry and if memory serves me correctly, Roman Catholicism is the biggest religious demonation. Overall, 70% of Australians express some religious affiliation.
