re: #16 darthstar

Then you’re left with Pete Stark in California as your only candidate, as he’s the only self-professed Athiest in the US Government. Every single other serving member says they believe god exists - as they understand him/her/it.

Spirituality isn’t bad. Fundamentalist extremism, however, is.

And even Pete Stark goes to a Unitarian Church weekly! Face it, no congressman can get elected without belonging (or appearing to belong) to an organized religion. Even believers who choose to worship in private aren’t accepted by the average voter.
