The only way to be true to our American tradition is to maintain absolute governmental neutrality regarding religious beliefs and practices.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The government must pursue a course of complete neutrality toward religion.
America is an unusually religious nation.
The great American tradition is one of pluralism, not exclusive secularism. The strength of our country is reflected in the contributions that we all make to the common good.
The U.S. is off the spectrum in religious commitment.
The role of the federal government should be neutral toward culture just as it is toward religion.
Being religious is quintessentially American.
True Americanism is opposed utterly to any political divisions resting on race and 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.
Americans should be free to recognize our religious heritage; doing that is not the same as creating a government-sponsored religion.
It strikes me as odd that the free exercise of religious faith is sometimes treated as a problem, something America is stuck with instead of blessed with.
