A secularist organization called "First Freedom First" has suggested some "Questions to Ask Candidates. The questions are designed to push the atheistic agenda behind the myth of "the separation of church and state." Here are the questions with my answers.
  1. Leaders on the religious right often say that America is a “Christian Nation.” Do you agree with this statement?
America certainly was a Christian nation -- the U.S. Supreme Court has said so many times, notably in a lengthy opinion in an 1892 case, Holy Trinity Church vs. United States.
  1. Do you think Houses of Worship should be allowed to endorse political candidates and retain their tax exempt status?
  1. Do you think public schools should sponsor school prayer or, as a parent, should this choice be left to me?
  1. Would you support a law that mandates teaching creationism in my child’s public school science classes?
  1. Do you think my pharmacist should be allowed to deny me doctor-prescribed medications based on his or her religious beliefs?
  1. Will you respect the rights of those in our diverse communities of faith who deem same-gender marriage to be consistent with their religious creed?
  1. Should “faith-based” charities that receive public funds be allowed to discriminate against employees or applicants based on religious beliefs?
  1. Do you think one's right to disbelieve in God is protected by the same laws that protect someone else's right to believe?
  1. Do you think everyone’s religious freedom needs to be protected by what Thomas Jefferson called “a wall of separation” between church and state?
  1. What should guide our policies on public health and medical research: science or religion?
