BBC: Tony Blair's spokesman Alastair Campbell famously once said the prime minister didn't "do God" when talking to the media.
Religious pronouncements were kept to a minimum, for fear of risking the broad political support for the New Labour project.
Mr Campbell's simple words illustrate how Christianity is generally treated at Westminster.
Explicit mention of religion is seen as "un-British", a bit "American" and a "turn-off" to the electorate.
But, with a closely fought election in the offing and a desperate fight taking place for marginal seats, might candidates become more open about their beliefs if it means a few more votes? >>> Justin Parkinson | Wednesday, April 21, 2010
