John Edwards on Vouchers and Religion

One of the younger candidates for president, John Edwards' chances of gaining the Democratic nomination don't look very good; nevertheless, it is worth noting that he appears to be a strong supporter for the separation of church and state.

The JTA reports:

Faith is enormously important to me personally and to tens of millions of Americans. In addition, religious institutions do wonderful work and make important contributions to our society. In a manner consistent with the First Amendment, faith-based charities should be able to participate in delivering services. But they should also meet the same anti-discrimination standards as other charities receiving government support. We should be encouraging faith-based initiatives in a way that values the important work of these organizations and does not divide Americans.
