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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't think we should discriminate against an organization or congregation because they're religious, if they're doing good work. But government can't subsidize proselytizing or worship or religious activity. It can't.
Religious freedom is already protected in the United States. It's in our Constitution. It's in most state constitutions.
The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.
Americans deserve to have their religious beliefs and practices protected. Religious freedom is too important to be trampled by insensitive bureaucracy or bad policy.
I believe we can, and must, strike a balance between our shared American values of religious liberty and freedom from discrimination. My concerns lie with the possible consequences of politically-driven legislation which claims to promote religious liberty but instead rolls back the legal protections held by LGBT Americans.
Americans should be free to recognize our religious heritage; doing that is not the same as creating a government-sponsored religion.
You cannot classify a whole group of people based upon their religion and determine their intent. That's not fair. It's not American.
America's commitment to religious freedom and tolerance should not be conditional.
If we are going to use places of worship as polling places, we should not discriminate.
Private religious speech can't be discriminated against. It has to be treated equally with secular speech.
