Hillary Clinton on Religion, Religious Faith, Secularism, Atheism, Church/State (Separation) [View all]

What Does Clinton Say on Issues that Matter to Secular Atheists & Separationists?

http://atheism.about.com/od/hillaryclintonreligion/tp/HillaryClintonReligionSecular.htm

Whether she is elected president or not, Hillary Clinton is and will remain for some time a leading figure in the Democratic Party. Her views on matters like religion, the role of religion in government and public life, church/state separation, secularism, faith-based initiatives, reproductive choice, atheists and atheism, religion in public school, and related issues should matter to atheists. Secular atheists need to know where she really stands on religious and secular issues before they vote for her so they know exactly whom they are voting for and what long-term policies they are effectively supporting.


This was first written a while back but I think Austin Cline updates it from time to time, and it may get more frequently updated now that Clinton has officially begun her campaign. Long story short, there are several things she has said that should concern non-believers and those who hold church/state separation to be important. Hopefully she will have opportunities during her campaign to answer questions and clarify where she stands.
