What FaithfulAmerica.org Stands For
FaithfulAmerica.org believes in the common good and in community – local, national and global. We reject a go-it-alone culture that reduces our politics and our personal lives to selfishness and fear. We accept the separation of church and state, but not the separation of moral principles from politics.
Drawing on our country’s founding values and the profound social justice message at the heart of every major religion, we stand for:
* Respecting the dignity and equality of all people as part of a single human family;
* Working to end human suffering in all forms and in all places;
* Promoting unity, inclusion and peace among all people and all faiths;
* Acting as stewards of God’s creation;
* Practicing and promoting respectful, sincere political & religious debate that looks for truth on all sides and seeks only the common good;
* Striving in our own lives, as a community and as a nation to live up to the values we proclaim and being honest with ourselves when we do not.
