Where We Stand on Religion & Values

CAP works to identify and articulate the moral, ethical, and spiritual values underpinning policy issues, shape a progressive stance in which these values are clear, and increase public awareness and understanding of these values. We also work to safeguard the healthy separation of church and state that has allowed religion in our country to flourish. In all efforts, we work for a society and government that strengthen the common good and respect the basic dignity of people. See the Faith and Progressive Policy initiative for more information.
