Stark An Atheist? Who Cares?

There are plenty of much more significant reasons to oppose Congressman Pete Stark (D-CA).

The mysterious "non-theist" member of Congress was revealed today to be hot-blooded , 75-year-old Pete Stark of California . It's not the boldest announcement in the world. Stark is consistently ranked among the most liberal members on the Hill, and hails from a decidedly leftist district, so I doubt it'll cost him many votes. Though I guess you do have to admire the guy's moxie to wait until advancing years to announce his doubt about an afterlife.

I wonder -- will Barry Lynn and the Americans United for the Separation of Church and State crowd come out and condemn Stark for talking about his (non-)r religious beliefs? Or is it only Christians of the Bible-believing variety who that organization (for years a hotbed of anti-Catholicism) want to shut up?

1 Old Congressman Pete Stark…of 35 years plus in Congress is not only an atheist, but he is just an 'old fart' so to speak who wants to piss off the world. He rants and raves at his constituents and is not a nice guy…he's not a "poster child" that any organization would want to represent them…atheists or otherwise. Check out where he denigrated a constituent who just returned from an overseas deployment to Kosovo…the soldier wrote his congressman (Pete Stark) and got this angry insulting voicemail back. (See the link to the Fox News video below).
