I don’t really care that he is atheist (although it is nice). I’m just glad we have an engineer in the senate.

I don’t know Stark seems to have done alright with admitting he is a non-theist who attends the UU. It wasn’t exactly the end of his career. Maybe we will get lucky and Kaufman will say non-theist, humanist, or atheist. He’s 69 y.o. What does he really have to lose? If I was almost 70, I wouldn’t care what anyone thinks.

If, indeed, Kaufman doesn’t believe in God, he would be doing the millions of Americans who agree with him a huge favor by saying as much during the short time he’ll be a Senator.

Here’s hoping he can say so and *not* have just a “short time” as a Senator, and actually be re-elected to the seat.

It’d be nice if he came out and said “athiest,” but I’ll take “humanist” any day

I mean, as long as he is making decisions based on reason and not dogma or ideology, that is really what matters.

It’s also great that he’s an engineer, and obviously very intelligent. I hope he is an effective senator! Gotta look for him on CSPAN-2.

Admitting to atheism would be likely to ruin almost anyone’s political career and is very risky.

I thought at first the photo was John Cleese…

Keep your mouth shut, fool. If the wingnuts hear that, they’ll realize his Hawaiian birth certificate is faked.
