==Personal life==

Cameron was raised [[Presbyterianism|Presbyterian]], but later converted to [[Catholicism]], which was his wife's religion.<ref name=adb/> The ''[[Sydney Morning Herald]]'' reported in 1950 that he was a "deeply religious man". In parliament, he attracted attention for choosing to make an [[affirmation (law)|affirmation]] rather than swear the oath of office. He did so each time he was elected and was the only member of the House of Representatives to do so during his time in office; after his death no other MPs chose to make an affirmation until 1969. He told an interviewer that "if a man's word is worthless no amount of oath-taking will make him worthy".<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.aph.gov.au/about_parliament/parliamentary_departments/parliamentary_library/pubs/rp/rp1314/oathsaffirmations|title=Oaths and affirmations made by the executive and members of federal parliament since 1901|first=Deirdre|last=McKeown|date=24 October 2013|access-date=23 August 2024|publisher=Parliamentary Library|work=Research Papers 2013-14}}</ref>
