Christian in "believe in God" shock

Why is this even news?

Two points:

1. The reactions of Reg "I'm not milking my son's death for political reasons at all, honest" Keys and that other professional mourner are as media-whorish and as predictabe as expected. Harsh? Me? Yes, but I have as much time for this sort of disgraceful manipulation of death as the voters of Sedgefield (Blair; 24,421, Keys; 4,252)...
2. The mindless, hypocritical bigotry of Evan Harris never ceases to amaze me.
