I just don't like the separatism that comes from religion, and, without fail, the need to put your beliefs on someone else. When you start telling someone else how to live, you should check yourself, man.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always tell people that religious institutions and political institutions should be separate. So while I'm telling people this, I myself continue with them combined. Hypocrisy!
I believe in the separation of church and state, but I do not believe in the separation of politics from religion.
I do believe in the separation of church and state. But I don't think separation of church and state means you have to be free from your faith.
Quite often you hear people say, 'What about separation of church and state?' There is no such thing.
You don't need to push your beliefs onto other people!
I don't really like the word 'religion.' To me, that's like rules and regulations and paying money to send up prayers. That kind of all weirds me out, honestly.
I believe in the separation of church and state, absolutely. But I don't believe in the separation of public life from our values, our basic values, and for many of us, our religious values.
Each of us has the choice to attend the church we want to, or none at all. Separation of church and state allows for religions to have their own set of rules as to whom they will accept and who they won't, and the practices they support and the ones they don't. They will continue to be able to do so.
Usually, it is not my habit to address religious issues on the floor. I strongly believe in a person's right to religious freedom, as well as the separation of church and state.
I believe that religion should be totally separated from the state. That's not the way it is today, not even in Sweden.
