As long as he doesn't pass any laws that are based upon religious dogma (as opposed to generally accepted social mores), then where's the problem? He can talk about God as much as he wants. It will turn some people off, and some will like it. Again, so what?
I'm atheist and I don't care. I think
all of you who believe in God are mistaken, but it doesn't bother me that many (most?) countries are based upon religious ideals and refer to God in their constituting documents.
