John Kasich (Religion)
Kasich's Religious Governmental Army
Kasich has made it clear that he does not necessarily believe their should be a distinct delineation between church and state. During his speech at the National Press Club in Washington D.C., Kasich asserted his plan to create a governmental agency responsible for proselytizing Western religious values. Furthermore, Kasich believes that the key to fighting Islamic extremists is to band together under a community of religious values.
- Some of his notable quotations on his stance between the separation of church and state include:
“U.S. public diplomacy and international broadcasting have lost their focus on the case for Western values and ideals and effectively countering opponents’ propaganda and disinformation. I will consolidate them into a new agency that has a clear mandate to promote the core Judeo-Christian Western values that we and our friends and allies share.” - John Kasich speaking at the National Press Club
