Despite how Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz presents the matter, there is no societal benefit to come from avoiding talk about religion.

In the debate with Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) earlier this week, Walz chose to quote the Bible in order to elucidate his immigration stance. “I don’t talk about my faith a lot,” he said, “but Matthew 25:40 talks about ‘to the least amongst us, you do unto me.’ I think that’s true of most Americans.”
