While Britian is certainly a diverse society and incorporates all
religious faiths, I think it is safe to say that someone named Patil
or Ghandi would be Hindu, and someone named Hishimoto would be Shinto.
If I meet a person of Thai ancestry who is a native born Brit, I think
it's still safe to assume they are Buddhist. While this is not
absolute, it's a pretty fair indicator. Equally fair is the assumption
that someone born in Britian and named Rowling is Christian. 

That combined with her own statements of the fact.

People who assume she IS are making a fair assumption, people who
assume she is not are making an irrational assumption that does
nothing other than promote their own prejudice and further their own
self-serving personal agendas.

Nuf said.
