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.

I would not, under any circumstances, try to impose my personal faith and belief on the rest of the country. I don't think that's right. I don't think that's appropriate. But freedom of religion doesn't mean freedom from religion. And I think that anything we can do to promote the idea that people should express their faith is a good thing.

My faith informs everything I think and do. It's part of my value system.
