You seem inconsistent. You don't want government to regulate religious groups, but you seem to feel it is OK to allow religious groups benefits from government and also to receive special treatment in the public domain.

Do you support any sectarian displays on public property?Quote
Yes. I have no problem with that do amount to civil authority over religion. I have a big problem with those that do.Quote
What displays would you support if any?
The statue of Roger Williams, in the Capitol, holding a book titled "Soul Liberty"Quote
Do you support any money being given by the government to religious groups?
Not if it violated the general principle that "religion is the duty which we owe to our Creator and is exempt from the authority of civil government."Quote
What funding would you support specifically?
Any type of funding that did not violate the general principle that "religion is the duty which we owe to our Creator and is exempt from the cognizance of civil government." The funding would have to be available to all religious groups including, but not limited to, groups comprised of infidels, pagans, Jews, Mahometans, Gentoos, Mussulmen and Turks.
