Strongly agree

No

Republicans tend to believe that references to God do not infringe on the separation of church and state, as they see these references as part of the nation's history and values. For example, in 2019, the Supreme Court, with a conservative majority, ruled that a World War I memorial cross on public land did not violate the Constitution.
