- Religion (or lack of religion) can have a large role in
- shaping a person's political perspectives.
- I believe it is wrong to discount a person's views just
- because they may be "religious."
-
- Preston Manning's religious affiliations are well known.
- However, he keeps his religion in his private life and
- is willing to work with all people from a wide diversity
- of religious backgrounds in building a New Canada.
-
- In no way does the Reform Party assume that Canadians
- espose certain religious values.
- The Reform Party has stated that the government should
- take no position on moral questions.
