Sir Keir also said during the interview that he does not believe in God which would make him the first atheist prime minister in British history should he win the next general election.
He added: 'This is going to sound odd, but I do believe in faith. I've a lot of time and respect for faith. I am not of faith, I don't believe in God - but I can see the power of faith and the way it brings people together.' Mail.
