Yuval, I take Fred’s initial comment to be a more general critique of the view that the government exists to accomplish religious goals. The questioner asked whether he would continue Bush’s AIDS initiative “as a Christian.” He responded, in essence, that we need to understand the proper role for the federal government and the proper role for religious institutions. He expanded on that but I didn’t take his later remarks to either support or oppose Bush’s initiative.
