The new leader of the Liberal Democrats doesn’t believe in God. Like it really matters. Morality isn’t reliant on religion in the slightest – you can be a good person as an Atheist, or a bad man as a religious fundamentalist of any persuasion.

However, that Clegg has revealed his lack of religion is commendable, even though it’s likely to have any real impact in any direction, considering the minimal importance of religion in British politics – though I can’t help but wonder whether this could have affected the very slim margin by which he won the Lib Dem leadership.
