Nope - and Sweden is the same, and quite possibly all the Nordic countries, but I may be wrong. (I think we're the only ones to have two state churches, though, the Lutheran and the Greek Orthodox - though, again, I may be wrong about that.)
And it is curious in a number of ways, because at the same time we have such an utterly utterly secular society, compared to some state-church-less countries, and it makes funny things happen, like. [Once again, I may be talking completely out of my ass, here, but] the President gets these quasi-churchly duties, and the current President, iirc, was actually not a member before the election.
