Why didn’t tensions between Tory’s and Dissenters lead to civil war in Georgian England?

I am wondering why in 18th century England there were still significant political and religious tensions between groups like the Whigs (who were often more sympathetic to dissenters) and the Tories (more aligned with the established Church). Yet, unlike the 17th century, these tensions didn’t lead to a civil war. Why do you think that by the 18th century, even with strong ideological divides, there didn’t seem to be the forces that led to violence and war. Was it that society had moved on and no longer saw the military as the answer to internal disputes?
