"Objectives / Details of Facebook Group (see link above) with 18,000 signed up "expressions of interest"

Positions:

1. Secularity of government
2. No national religion
3. Stop providing tax money in support of religion
4. The church should not endorse any political figure
5. The state should not prescribe, proscribe, or amend religious beliefs.
6. The state should not express any religious beliefs, or in any publication, speech, or other instruments of state power.
7. Political leaders should not express religious preferences in the course of their duties
8. The church should not interfere in civil political processes or relations between the state and other nations"

These positions are necessary for the Seperation of Church and State.
