I have always considered myself a conservative. I am not, however, a religious person. I am not a Christian. Nor am I Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim or any other religion. I am an agnostic. I believe strongly in the separation of church and state. I know that our Founding Fathers were Christians and that they based much of their philosophies on their religion. I believe that they had the wisdom and foresight to leave their specific religious beliefs out of our Constitution and to instead keep freedom of religion a possibility for the generations to come. I feel that the identity of the Republican Party has been often associated only with the "religious right." I am a Republican because of my strong family values, because I believe in a small government and a strong military, because I believe in personal responsibility. I have no religion but I, too, am a conservative.
