I guess I just think the balance in our country the last 30, 40 years has actually been much more in the other direction, which is that we try to completely remove religion from the public square.
And I think that poses its own problems because people practice their faith in all kinds of ways.
Well –
You're right, it's certainly the responsibility of churches and synagogues and mosques and so forth.
But I also think that the late Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist sort of said this, that if your approach to religion and public life
always and everywhere is to push it out of the public square, then you're actually embracing a religion of your own in the public square, which is secularism.
You're just taking one religion and replacing it with secularism.
And I guess what I'm saying is I'm kind of comfortable with people of different faiths sharing the public square together.
But part of that is that if I'm in a 95 percent Christian community and my local city council wants to put up a nativity display on Christmas Eve, I'm OK with that.
And that was actually like for a long time in our country actually prohibited.
And so what I think is that we got – we sort of put ourselves in this frame in this country where we said every public display of religion is somehow illegitimate.
But I mean, I don't know.
I try to live my faith in a way that's consistent across different spheres of my life.
You know, I don't preach to people.
I don't like walk into the White House, tell my employees, you know, you need to be you need to follow Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
I just try to live my life in a way that hopefully makes people a little curious about what.
you know, what motivates me and what inspires me.
But I also don't think that the expectation should be that we tell religious people they're not allowed to be religious in the public square, because I think that's what we've done over the last 30 or 40 years.
I guess.
you know, we can agree to disagree.
