    hiring decisions

    The rule on federal money going only to organizational ventures that don't discriminate based on faith is fine -- unless you just don't want any government funding of any program run by a religious group.

    After all, how could you give ANY money to religious groups if you had the rule that the group can't use faith as a criteria in non-government funded programs. If that was the criteria, then you would be saying that the group couldn't discriminate by hiring a Catholic to be priest, a Methodist to be minister, a Jew to be a rabbi,etc.
