Through my Faith-Based and Community Initiative, my Administration continues to encourage the essential work of faith-based and community organizations.

Today courts wrongly interpret separation of church and state to mean that religion has no place in the public arena, or that morality derived from religion should not be permitted to shape our laws.

In the process they have made religious believers into second-class citizens.
