(CNN) — As the CNN/Youtube debate winded down Monday night, the questions got a little more spiritual.
Showing two sides of a quarter and reading the inscriptions on each face, a YouTube questioner asked Sen. Joe Biden, of Delaware, how his faith has shaped his life.
Biden paused, looked down, and responded.
“My values, my reason dictates outcome. My religion taught me about power. That’s why I take the position I take on the floor. It came about as a consequence of reasoning. I don’t find anything inconsistent about my deep religious beliefs.”
It was the first prolonged discussion about religion during the debate, though Biden had previously referenced his Roman Catholic faith in response to a question on public versus private schools.
