Lord Bourne is responding to criticism that the title of Minister for Faith has been scrapped and it's no longer a role that has a place in the cabinet.
Before the election in 2015 Baroness Warsi and Eric Pickles both had the job and a seat in Prime Minister David Cameron's coalition cabinet.
But after Cameron's re-election as a majority government Premier exclusively revealed how the title of Faith Minister was scrapped by the Government and subsumed into a junior ministerial role at the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG).
Now under Theresa May the job's gone to Lord Bourne - but he's also a minister for troubled families and the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Wales.
In an exclusive interview with Premier he was asked if he agreed with Baroness Warsi and Eric Pickles' opinion that there should be a specific Minister for Faith.
"There is, it's me," he replied.
"The thing that suffers when I get a lot of work to do, and I do get a lot of work to do, is my sleep.
"I'm very content to be doing the job that I'm doing, it's a very important job and I think that I'm giving it all the attention that it needs.
"I'm certainly getting round to faith communities and to different parts of the country to tackle and to discuss the issues that really matter to people."
He added that his experience over the past four months in the role is that faith groups working in their local community were "almost uniformly...doing an excellent job".
There was always a role for faith groups at a local level, he said.
"There are terrific religious faith groups that do a lot of work".
Lord Bourne also said the Prime Minister's Christian beliefs meant she had a "feeling for the underdog" and was "somebody who dislikes unfairness".
The politician has shown his commitment to faith communities by announcing a tour of all of England's Cathedral.
Tomorrow we'll hear Lord Bourne's take on the Ashers "gay cake" case.
