Cameron wants more Evangelical Christianity in UK politics
Discussion
Farage is going for the OAP vote. None of them are racists, of course, but . . .
Cameron has seen a sizeable number of women drifting away from his party and the party's own backbenchers have hurt it over the gay marriage vote. This is damage limitation which will change into bridge rebuilding in a while.
'The party of traditional values' or some such.

Cameron says he wants more Evangelical Christianity in politics and is then stung by a jellyfish while on holiday. Do you think someone 'up there' is having a laugh?
You know the cure for a jellyfish sting!!! Now there's a job I would happily volunteer for in Cameron's case.
Just look at how backward religious scruples affects the decisions (or lack of) of the likes of the unionist parties in Northern Ireland. They have a distinct aversion of implementing anything that their bible won't approve of, and put their quasi-religious customs ahead of the rights of others to enjoy their lives and freedoms.

Now there's a job I would happily volunteer for in Cameron's case.Others have touched on this but I reckon its a desperate attempt to try and retain as many voters as possible that could be persuaded to vote UKIP at the next election. UKIP's top campaign point is around immigration, the Conservatives can't approach it the same way as UKIP but by focusing on "heritage" and our country's long standing values, he is essentially making them more appealing to the same group.
My personal view on Church and State is that there should be clear separation. I find it quite astounding that the Church and especially Faith Schools, are still supported by the tax payer. The Church spreads factless rumours and promises its clients things it cannot ever be held accountable for. If a new business started up the same way that the Church operates today, Trading Standards would close it down in no time.
