What is ADL’s position on the topic of religion and election campaigns?
ADL is opposed to the solicitation of support on the basis of religion, race, or ethnic background. In addition, ADL is opposed to appeals to religious, racial, or ethnic bias in political campaigns. ADL believes that voters should be encouraged to make their decisions based upon their assessment of the qualifications, integrity and political positions of candidates. Appealing to voters along religious lines can be divisive, and contrary to the American ideal of including all Americans in the political process, regardless of whether they are in a religious minority or ascribe to no faith tradition.
