CNN N. H. Town Hall: on Principles & Values

Deval Patrick: I am a man of faith; my decisions are grounded in faith

PATRICK: I don't know him well. He's always been a gentleman to me. But on the point of faith, I mean, I am a man of faith. I have made decisions on the strength of my values, and many of my values are grounded in faith. In fact, it's one of my frustrations with Democrats, because sometimes we are really squishy about the language of faith, when, in fact, so much of what we are about has its roots in the lessons of faith. My reasons [for many policies as governor had] to do with faith, that we were taught--all major religions are taught--we will be judged by how we treat the least of these. And I believe that. So the notion that faith would bear on his decision or someone else's, particularly when it inspires generosity and fealty to truth and to justice, that seems exactly right to me.

Pete Buttigieg: Government belongs to people of every religion & no religion

BUTTIGIEG: Where do we begin? I mean, especially for a president who tries to cloak himself in religion, I'm pretty sure that there's a whole lot of scripture about the dangers of pride and arrogance, and the importance of humility. I'm very committed to the idea that this country, the Constitution, the presidency, belong to people of every religion and of no religion equally. That is a core principle in our country. But I also think this is a time for those who are guided by faith to think about the choice that they have. And if you belong to a faith tradition that tells you that so much depends on how we make ourselves useful to those who are marginalized and oppressed, I just can't imagine that that requires of you that you be anywhere near this president.
