FAVGOVFD (Weighted by WEIGHT)

For each one, please tell me whether you strongly favor, favor, oppose, or strongly oppose it. The next one is: giving government funding to churches and other houses of worship so they can provide social services such as job training or drug treatment counseling to people who need them.
