Mitt Romney's family baptized Ann Romney's atheist father into Mormon church a year AFTER his death.

More questions are being raised about presidential candidate Mitt Romney's religion after it was revealed that he helped baptise his adamantly atheist father-in-law years after the man had died.

Edward Roderick Davies was Ann Romney's father and died in 1992 after living as a staunch atheist all his life.

Recently-discovered records show that, in keeping with their controversial tradition of posthumously baptising non-Mormons, a ceremony was held to invite Mr Davies into the Church of Latter Day Saints one year after he died

Ann Romney's father was given a proxy baptism during a 'special family ceremony' at the Salt Lake Temple- in the baptismal font shown here- 14 months after he died
