I'm not a big fan, but before you jump to conclusions. (yeah, I know I'm on FR)... Look at some of his past interviews... One example..

Stephen Colbert on Religion
Would your family all sing carols on Christmas Eve?
Sure, we’d process through the house, and we still do it. My family is 50 people now — nieces and nephews and that sort of thing — and we process from the youngest to the oldest. The youngest puts the baby Jesus in the manger on Christmas Eve and we sing “Silent Night.” It’s very traditional.

Does faith still play a big part in your life?
Very much. I am highly variable in my devotion. From a doctrinal point of view or a dogmatic point of view or a strictly Catholic adherent point of view, I’m first to say that I talk a good game, but I don’t know how good I am about it in practice. I saw how my mother’s faith was very valuable to her and valuable to my brothers and sisters, and I’m moved by the words of Christ, and I’ll leave it at that.

But you do teach Sunday school?
I teach the seven year olds. I’m the catechist for their first communion.

thank you for sharing all that ... he must be a liberal believer, and not just a liberal ... lukewarm but not cold

I tend to agree, as I was watching that last night I said to my wife... I don’t think he meant it to be a joke but it came across as awkward. Half the audience laughed and he had this puzzled look on his face as if to say, well I didn’t quite mean it that way.

Of course he did say it, so I guess we’ll never know what’s inside of him.
