I doubt it’s religion.
Theresa May was all about drug control because her husband is high up in a company that pretty much has a monopoly on medical cannabis export. Relaxing the rules would be bad for his business. Wouldn’t surprise me if that company was a donor to the Tory party.
New labour, in the early 2000s, made moves to be more lenient on cannabis, and they were absolutely hounded by the conservative press for it, which then prompted them to reverse track.

Its only Americans that I see being puritanical as a general rule. There are Christian sects in the UK who are against drinking, but its not the majority.
