The only way Democrats can approach faith is with generic platitudes.
The moment they indicate that have any heartfelt spiritual affinity for anything not learned in college level poly-sci and/or sociology they run the risk of irritating their activist core. Just like any GOP candidate has to genuinely pretend to have real faith else they piss off the fundies.
It's really unbridgeable. As the country becomes more and more faith oriented with every decade, Democratic politicians have a thinner razor blade to walk on. So they're left having to mouth unassailable platitudes like "Doing Good is Good" "We should all love one another" "I identify with the message of Jesus" etc etc etc.
