Nonsense. The General Welfare clause is not a license to pass out welfare generally.

Church attendance is another.

Now we've entered definite tinfoil-hat territory. However, I'll agree -- my home is the Church of Steve-B, and I demand credit for going there an average of... carry the two... 17.8 hours per day (i.e. the government is going to owe me money).

Marriage between one man and one woman is the basis for our entire culture. We are all better off when marriages are healthy.

You always get more of anything you subsidize. Marriage is one area where the government should subsidize (Of course all other entitlement type programs should be scrapped because they do not contribute to the general welfare of society)

Church attendance is another.

We'll just have to disagree. Christian church going people are almost always better citizens than non churchgoing.
