Any religious organization should be allowed to hire based on their religious preference- but not with federal dollars.

The United States cannot and should not discriminate on the basis of religion. The free exercise of religion is at the very heart of our constitutional guarantee for all persons of this country.

What I have said is that I think the federal government and we as a society have come too far in trying to separate good organizations that perform good functions for people just based on the fact one has a religious association and one doesn't.

Religious organizations exist to foster the interests of persons subscribing to the same religious faith. Not so of for-profit corporations. Workers who sustain the operations of those corporations commonly are not drawn from one religious community.

Government needs to stay out of the religion business altogether.

Every religious group, while perhaps a majority somewhere, is also inevitably a minority somewhere else. Thus, religious organizations should and do show tolerance toward members of other religious denominations.

If we are going to use places of worship as polling places, we should not discriminate.

The Establishment Clause prohibits government from making adherence to a religion relevant in any way to a person's standing in the political community.

Too many religious organizations are in the business of enforcing beliefs.

Private religious speech can't be discriminated against. It has to be treated equally with secular speech.
