Questionnaire 1) Today, many of the freedoms that our forefathers fought, suffered and died for are being put under a microscope, and the words "choice" and "privacy" are becoming words of the past. How do you feel about this? Will it effect the United States of America and what it stands for? 2) One of the freedoms that is currently being threatened in our country is the Freedom of Religion. Do you feel the U.S. Government has the right to tell you how you should worship and what your religious beliefs should be? If not the U.S. Government, do you feel there is any group or organization who has the right to dictate your religious beliefs or methods of worship? 3) How do you feel about your religion, or that of another, if it causes harm to the environment or any form of life on this planet? Should the right of religious freedom extend to any and all religions, even if those religions infringe on the civil rights of others, or cause some other type of collateral damage, which affects you, the country, or the planet as a whole? 4) Is there a line that must be drawn, at some point, between freedom of religion and the rights of others, or the safety and security of our planet and/or its' people? Are you willing to sacrifice some of your freedoms in the name of national or world security or peace? 5) There are U.S. Government officials, political pundits, journalists and ordinary people, who believe that our laws should reflect, and be dictated by the laws of the Bible. Some propose that rule breakers should be punished, possibly even by death. What is your opinion about this? Should this be allowed to happen? Why? 6) How would you feel if your religious freedom was taken away? 7) Yes or No Questions: A) Do you feel that laws concerning religious freedom need to be amended? If yes, what should these amendments be? B) Do you feel religious freedom and politics go hand in hand? If yes, please answer the question below. i) Do you feel that religious freedom and politics may only currently go hand in hand, as a consequence of our present circumstances, current social or political climate, or our present-day White House Administration? Or do you believe that these two concepts actually belong together as a matter of necessity, to insure moral uniformity, or because you feel that there is only one correct religion, which should be preserved, perpetuated and enforced? Or do you have some other reason not mentioned above? If so, please explain. C) Is religion, in your opinion, a personal choice? D) Do you feel this country should have a mandatory religious policy? If yes, please answer the question below. i) Should that religious policy be representative of only one religion, and written by mainstream religious or political leaders? E) Explain why you answered yes or no to any of the above. 8) How do you feel about the posting of the Ten Commandments in public schools? 9) How do you feel about the recent Federal Court decision concerning the constitutionality of the Pledge of Allegiance? 10) Do you support religious freedom for all, even if the beliefs of others are profoundly and significantly different from your own beliefs?
