Scott Morrison declared his election victory a "miracle," told an interviewer he saw people as "agents of God's love" and used a National Press Club address to promise voters "I will burn for you" - a phrase used by some Pentecostal Christians to signify working tirelessly, often for Jesus.

One of his first acts during the campaign was to allow the cameras to record him worshipping at his church, Horizon.

Mr Morrison is not the first government leader of faith (John Howard, Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott were all Christians) but in his political language, the re-elected Prime Minister is arguably the most overt.

According to the Australian Christian Lobby's Martyn Iles, this language - coupled with the PM's support for religious freedom - is re-energising religious communities and turning them to the Liberal Party.
