What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

An example: This concept is highly linked to schools and religion. The First Amendment is still an active law.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Neutral

I need examples to answer this question


NATIONAL SECURITY

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Disagree

The Chinese seems to be innovators, with innovations, countries can derive insight into others' weaknesses!

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

All relationships are important, each provides its own value


HEALTHCARE

What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.

Neither

The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.

Strongly Disagree

CDC might have an infectious disease database.


ECONOMY

What is your position on the minimum wage?

Medical professionals who oversee the care of others' life should have an increase in minimum wages. Caregivers (CNAs) w/ specialty skills for example, the minimum wage should be $18 per hour. The elderly, living longer in Georgia, needs quality care

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.

Strongly Agree

Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.

Agree

Does this involve Muslims running for office? If Muslims win, Muslims become a part of the legal system via the political systems! This question is too open-ended.


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

None for the adult purchasing and carrying; however, parents/owners should be legally advised to try to keep out of the reach of minors
