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.

I think the real problem for American religion are those minority of fundamentalists who try to identify political policies with religion.

Americans should be free to recognize our religious heritage; doing that is not the same as creating a government-sponsored religion.

I hope we will not so characterize religious people as being so narrow and so biased towards people not of their own religion that they cannot even work with them in this common cause to which you say they are committed.

Most people I know are not hard-core religious people. They are what I would call 'lightly religious.' So I don't buy the notion that we can't laugh about religion in America.

There's a gullible side to the American people. They can be easily misled. Religion is the best device used to mislead them.

Americans deserve to have their religious beliefs and practices protected. Religious freedom is too important to be trampled by insensitive bureaucracy or bad policy.

It appears to be in the nature of religion itself to be prejudiced against those who are different.

The U.S. is off the spectrum in religious commitment.

The most likely victim of actual religious discrimination in British society is a Muslim, but the person who is most likely to feel slighted because of their religion is an evangelical Christian.
