President Daniel Ortega was an atheist Marxist guerrilla during the bloody Sandinista wars of the 1970s.
Now running for his third term as president...he is using religious processions and chants at campaign rallies.
His campaign's new slogan is: "Christian, Socialist and In Solidarity."
A Catholic bishop there says:"The use of biblical words and church symbols in in bad taste. They are messing around with religion and the Christian faith."
