I agree the number of atheists in Congress is a lot closer to 535 than 0.
I think we’d be surprised if we could do a spiritual X-ray.
Part of the problem is that really tough Christians (tough in the sense of withstanding many slings and arrows for the sake of the love of God, not tough as in being harsh by principle) are few and far between — but that’s whom we’d need in Congress to stand up to the intense winds of worldliness in DC.
Let’s have a heart here. We probably have more Christians than we think, but they’re just plain weak. While being willing to go through the pearly gates, they are still too intimidated to bring some of the pearly gates down here.
But again we should keep in mind that even in the best circumstances the world is not our home. An all-Christian America, were that possible, would still be composed of sinners whose salvations needed to complete their work before they could live completely with God. Let’s not have the tail wagging the dog. Humility before God isn’t just a nice gesture of honor to Him. It’s necessary to live in peace.
