He never properly articulated how he resolved the conflict between his faith and his politics. Personally I think it's liberal to vote to extend the rights of others irrespective of your own faith, liberalism isn't about making everyone have the same views not imposing those views on others. There was a time when it would be considered wrong for an atheist to be the leader of one of the main parties, as that becomes less bizarre we shouldn't flip it around and make it hard for someone religion to be so.
But he kept dodging the question hoping it would go away and in the end people are entitled to object to that and use their vote accordingly.

Agrred especially when they had Jeremy (bunny) Thorpe as leader in the 70's. He didn't want to force his views on anybody, just wanted all treated as equal no matter what sexual orientation etc. I still think he may have been the best leader they've had.
