Sorry to give a link from such a fruity site, but I came across this headline and was appalled, though not surprised considering where Stark is from. We should definitely make a stir about this, because it's unseemly in an overwhelmingly religious nation that a politician flagrantly be atheist, imho.

To be totally honest, I couldn't care less if the Moonbats in the Bay Area elect an atheist. BTW, Pete Stark is the only member of congress I know of who has never lived in the district he represents. Oh well!

Up to his constituents, and if they didn't know then, they do now.
BTW what would a atheist swear the oath on, a copy of 'Origin of the Species'?

Perhaps other pagans in Congress will come forward now?
How about Barney Frank? Thoughts?

Pete Stark may be a liberal atheist, but when my company in Calabasas, CA was being hassled on our GSA Contract, he made a phone call and GSA was suddenly kissing up. He gets the job done, which is more than I can say for most other House members or Senators.

I disagree. His religious beliefs, or lack thereof shouldn't matter...
Besides...this guy is a dem from San Francisco...there will be plenty of other "unseemly" attributes (starting with voting for tax hikes, for example) to capitalize on, I'm quite sure.

I'm shocked if he's really the first.
But there are so many heretics and hypocrites in Congress that this is not a big deal.

The nerve of the guy - to have different religious beliefs than you!
