The UK has Protestantism as an official state religion and yet it has the NHS, mandatory paid holidays etc.

The average UK citizen hardly cares for any religion, much less have the protestant work ethic being pervasive.

In fact the Church of England if often jokingly called the closest thing a church has to atheism.

Don't conflate nominal state religions with actual ideas at play in citizen's heads...
