"The only way to be true to our American tradition is to maintain absolute governmental neutrality regarding religious beliefs and practices"
- Bill Bradley
About this Quote
This quote by Bill Bradley stresses the value of the separation of church and state in the United States. It suggests that the government should remain neutral when it pertains to religious beliefs and practices. This neutrality is necessary to upholding the American custom of spiritual liberty and tolerance. It is necessary that the federal government does not prefer any particular faith or religious group, as this might result in discrimination and inequality. This neutrality also allows people to practice their own religious beliefs without fear of persecution or interference from the federal government. By keeping outright governmental neutrality relating to religions and practices, the United States can stay real to its starting principles and make sure that all citizens are dealt with similarly and fairly.
