No. Only one former president used to say God bless Albania but only for fun, he was pro American. I don't think Albanians would vote anyone openly religious.

I can't remember any mainstream spanish politician invoking God, or using religious beliefs in political speechs (not directly attached to religious mundane affairs at least).
It would be seen by people as very middle-ages and weird.

Spaniards invoked god the most hardest coming into the new world. Weird that spaniards on TA tell me they dont invoke god from any politicians on TV.

I am from Tunisia which is an islamic country , most politicans do not invoke god expect a few islamists who became very "progressive" these days (The leader of the islamist party said lately that Homosexuality is naturel and that he doesn't care what people do) . The only expection is the two eids which are the islamic holidays because most of the country's politicans go to prayer in a shrine of a wali (an islamic saint) . So other than that god and religion are not used by politicans or even invoked when it comes to politics .

Yes Christianity have always had bigger tendency in my country, and the government trying to harden this image in general, specially this time during the migration crisis. I don't think it's bad or wrong in any means , but Im non religious and don't even have the urge to change it so.. yes

Politicians avoid to openly speak about religion or they do it subtly in a informal environment because we are a secular state. Western European states take more literally the concept of secular state than they do in the new world, especially the U.S.A. where religion has always played a key-role since its foundation (the U.S.A. was a religious refuge for the most part).
References to god, religious morality and its indoctrination used to be prevalent during Salazar's New State and Francoist Spain, another reason why some politicians might not do it in the Iberian Peninsula in order to avoid any correlation.
On the other hand, one would think that far-left parties in Portugal like the Portuguese Communist Party would be openly against religion but they are not, instead they follow a doctrine of tolerance for Marxist-Leninist ideological "cohabitation" with Roman Catholicism. More than ninety per cent of the ethnic Portuguese population identifies itself as Roman Catholic, so that might explain it.
