A slight majority, 52 percent, said government should not promote any particular set of values, compared with 40 percent who think government should promote “traditional values.”

I think people don't understand that "traditional values" find their foundation in Scripture rather than the "anything goes values" of today which are based on the emotions of the human heart.

They’re based on the emotions of a non-human heart too.

“compared with 40 percent who think government should promote “traditional values.”

The question is should that be the job of government? I say that’s the job of civil society. Once government takes on promoting values, don’t be surprised if they start promoting values you don’t like.

A slight majority, 52 percent, said government should not promote any particular set of values,

1. It is impossible to have "no values".

2. Governments always ends up enforcing the values that it holds.

3. Enforcing neutrality is a purge.
