12:29Now PlayingPeople who don't accept Christian Kate Forbes "can't do liberalism properly" - Tim Farron
Kate Forbes was seen by many to be the front runner in the race to replace Nicola Sturgeon as leader of the SNP, however, upon revealing her religious beliefs in relation to, for example, gay marriage, her chances of leadership have likely been damaged.
Anoosh Chakelian interviews former Lib Dem leader Tim Farron, whose own political career was impacted by revealing his religious beliefs.
The two discuss how religion interacts with someone's politics in a liberal society. Farron argues that there is often a "dangerous" assumption that having a faith is an "eccentric thing."
