End ALL financial support to faith based organizations.
There should be a stronger separation of church and state.
Faith based programs should be supported by the followers of that faith, not by the federal government. If any federal program needs to be cut for the sake of the economy or for the sake of the deficit, this should be at the top of the list.
"The so-called “faith-based” initiative is a euphemism for taxpayer-supported religion. The initiative funnels taxpayer dollars to religious social service providers without adequate safeguards to prevent proselytism. In addition, these groups seek to discriminate in hiring based on religion even though their programs are publicly funded. " from www.au.org
