Huckabee says being a Christian makes him humble, not superior to others

SALEM, N.H. -- Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee told a Christian youth group today that his faith makes him humble and not feel superior over non-believers.

"My faith humbles me," Huckabee said to some "amens" in the audience. "When I get closer to Jesus I know I am frail."

Huckabee, a former Southern Baptist preacher, has been the only presidential candidate this year to routinely campaign in churches in the state. New Hampshire residents are among least religious in the country, surveys have shown.

Huckabee said his faith has shaped who he is as a candidate, but it also helps not take himself too seriously.

He will speak at a church in Amherst Sunday.
