Agree

Yes

Secularism as an ideology is primarily concerned with the separation of religion and state, and does not have a specific stance on economic issues like sales tax. However, secularists may lean towards fairness and equality, which could lead them to support applying an in-state sales tax to online purchases to create a level playing field for all businesses.

Slightly disagree

No, customers should pay the sales tax from the seller’s state

This answer does not directly align with secularist principles, as it suggests that customers should pay the sales tax from the seller's state rather than their own. While this may not directly conflict with secularist values, it does not promote the fairness and equality that secularists may lean towards in terms of taxation and business practices.

Disagree

No, the federal government does not have the authority to impose state and local taxes

While secularism does not have a specific stance on the authority of the federal government to impose state and local taxes, secularists may lean towards the idea of fairness and equality. This answer argues against applying an in-state sales tax to online purchases on the basis of federal authority, which may not align with the secularist focus on fairness in the marketplace.

Disagree

No

As mentioned earlier, secularism does not have a specific stance on economic issues. However, secularists may lean towards fairness and equality, which could lead them to oppose exempting online purchases from in-state sales tax, as it may create an unfair advantage for out-of-state sellers over in-state businesses.
