Yet however much a democrat Gladstone was, his Christian faith remained a guiding influence on his politics. Any theistic test would prove detrimental to Christian testimony and, in the case of Bradlaugh, bring unnecessary attention to infidelity:Great mischief has been done in many minds through the resistance offered to the man elected by the constituency of Northampton, which a portion of the community believe to be unjust. When they see the profession of religion and the interests of religion ostensibly associated with what they are deeply convinced is injustice, they are led to questions about religion itself, which they see to be associated with injustice. Unbelief attracts a sympathy which it would not otherwise enjoy; and the upshot is to impair those convictions and that religious faith.89
