Your savior has arrived

Did you know at least over 96% of congress is religious? And that 88% is Christian?

Do not despair, even though that would be a natural response under such circumstances, there is hope.

There is 1 Unaffiliated, 1 who put her hand on the Constitution rather than a bible or other religious books, 1 atheist, 1 beautiful bixsexual centrist woman whose ancestors lived in the same region as mine. So you know it’s good stuff

#KyrstenSinema2028 - hang in there.

Must be why they get along so well.

Bible huggers are the biggest hypocrites on Earth.
Most seem to think it somehow "insulates" them from wrong doing or wrongful acts.
Just be a decent person, treat others with respect. You'll get it back.

Christians always end up fighting each other over their christianess.

Isnt that the same ratio as our population?

 

[tangerinegreen555]

I'd be willing to bet over 50% aren't all that religious. Maybe 75%.

Maybe they're scared to say that when you're dead, you're dead. Or to run for office as an athiest.

Religion is based on living forever. That worked better 1000 and 2000 years ago.

I believe in science, despite it's lack of a happy ending.

You want immortality?

Have children. That's your best bet.

The whole point of the list is to show it isn’t. Notice the last colum. Additionally there are many, especially progressives, who rather not deny God because atheist are considered to be baby killing monsters and thus disqualified.

Religion in politics is mostly about getting votes. If the people in your district are predominantly Christian, then so are you, and so on. If there's a heaven, there are no politicians there!

I see your point.

No

No

I answered before researching. Now i found this.

https://www.google.com/amp/www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/14/if-the-u-s-had-100-people-charting-americans-religious-affiliations/?amp=1


If the U.S. contained just 100 adults, 25 would be people who identify with evangelical Protestant denominations, 23 would be religiously unaffiliated and 21 would be Catholic. Just two would be Mormon, two would be Jewish and one would be Muslim.

Or it is politically expedient and btw do you have any outrage for the Christians who view "fostering children " as a for profit business?

 

[Bigworm4201982]

Did you climb over or tunnel under the wall...so many choices ?

Super comment from the silly kid.

 

[Sativied]

To not come out as an atheist or even just non-christian, yes it is.

and btw do you have any outrage for the Christians who view "fostering children " as a for profit business?

I’m ok with that as long as it’s done through respectable venues like pizza restaurants.

My beef with christianity is that it’s inherently anti-intellectual, it requires suppressing integrity. People thinking they have the right to their own facts rather than just their generally uninformed opinions, is a result of that. Prevalent not just in the south but also among the calvinism-based christians in the north east and even atheists. It’s a disease with a good chance it will end up destroying the planet. Especially with a congress where christians are overrepresented. They should at the very very least be frowned up.

Politicians who claim to believe the bible is god’s word should be forced to read it out loud, and say “I believe this to be divine truth” every few sentences. It’s too vile and absurd to do that with a straight face.
