First openly atheistic congressmen

It’s official: Rep. Fortney “Pete” Stark, D-California, is the first atheistic congressmen. Well, first to admit it.

He made the announcement on March 12 (yeah I’m late, but I’ve been busy).

I look forward to working with the Secular Coalition to stop the promotion of narrow religious beliefs in science, marriage contracts, the military and the provision of social service
