Nontheistic Senator in California

Story Here

This is an interesting step in politics, but unlikely to change anything. Besides the representative being in one of the most atheistic-friendly states in the country, his record of getting re-elected consistently, and the fact that he is a non-theistic Unitarian and not a full rationalist, it's only a baby step to having, say, an atheist president.

Baby-steps are good though. I imagine it would help considerably if world leaders were motivated more by worldly concerns, like the economy and war for example, instead of sucking up to their invisible friends.

i feel like everything is unlikely to change anything. isn't that a weird thought for a normally happy person like me to say? i think it's called "depressed".
