Wonderful! Glad to know we've at least have some representation for a while. He's a fighter for the people and I've long been a supporter of him.

Ugh, you know he's retired now right?

Not just an atheist but a "pot smoking atheist."

I thought he was still in the House, but was retiring at the end of his term.

Doesn't change the fact that he was in the House for decades.

Good point, but could he, even in his "safe" district, have been elected if he had been an open atheist?

I'd like to think so, but I'm skeptical.

According to Wikipedia, he finished up his service on January 3rd of this year. He was one of the most intelligent and reasonable congressmen we had.

Wait for some fundies to equate his homosexuality with his atheism.
