Nonreligious Americans Remain Far Underrepresented In Congress
Only one member of Congress is religiously unaffiliated, but more than one-in-five Americans are.
Hasnain says:
This is kind of surprising in that I thought Muslims were hated more than atheists; and I'm surprised that socialists polled that high.
"Not only that, but atheist is still far more of a minus than a plus for voters. According to one 2014 Pew poll, just over half of Americans said that knowing a presidential candidate was atheist would make them less likely to vote for that candidate; only 5 percent said "more likely" (the remaining 41 percent said it "wouldn't matter")."
