Political views

In 2022, Paul Raushenbush was asked the question: "Is separation of church and state going to be a big issue for the Interfaith Alliance?" Rev. Paul Raushenbush replied:

"Absolutely. The origin of church and state is to protect religion from over-encroachment by the state. Public schools should be places where people can come as they are. That includes nonreligious people, whether secular humanists or atheists. I’m not interested in erasure. I want to draw the line at making religion positive and non-coercive."[7]
