He is a southern boy who thinks using the word "god" is charming, even if he uses the word god like a tissue for blowing his nose into.

In truth, the Christian-Democrats of Europe, although still conservative, are not known to use religion as a means of gaining votes.
Such things are anti-democratic, and anti-secular by default.
Not to say that people ought to take a negative stance towards religion as part of their platforms, but a completely neutral stance.
One could no more formulate good public policy by taking a neutral stance on religion as one could by taking a neutral stance on murder, fraud, and gross child abuse.
