It is rhetoric he sparingly used before more mixed audiences or on the trail in New Hampshire, where voters tend to be more private about their religious views.

That was certainly the case when he sprung his romance with Bruni on a French public that had been watching Sarkozy take a prolonged bashing over his hosting incorrigible Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
