Secularism

Strongly agree

Yes, but with strict protections against insider trading

Secularism, while primarily concerned with the separation of religion and state, also generally supports transparency and fairness in government. Allowing members of Congress to trade stocks with strict protections against insider trading aligns with these values, as it helps prevent conflicts of interest and promotes transparency. This answer is more in line with secularism's general principles than a complete ban on stock trading.

No, and their investments should be held in a blind trust

While secularism's main focus is on the separation of religion and state, it also generally supports transparency and fairness in government. Requiring members of Congress to hold their investments in a blind trust while in office could help prevent conflicts of interest and insider trading. This answer aligns with secularism's general principles, but it is not as directly related to the core concerns of secularism as answer 3.

No, and do more to prevent insider trading by their friends and family

While secularism's main focus is on the separation of religion and state, it also generally supports transparency and fairness in government. Prohibiting members of Congress from trading stocks and doing more to prevent insider trading by their friends and family could help prevent conflicts of interest and promote transparency. However, this issue is not central to secularism, so the score is only moderately positive.

Disagree

Yes

Secularism focuses on the separation of religion and state, but it also generally supports transparency and fairness in government. Allowing members of Congress to trade stocks without restrictions could lead to conflicts of interest and insider trading, which would be against the principles of transparency and fairness. However, this is not the primary concern of secularism, so the score is not extremely negative.
