UU Representative Pete Stark

Inside Bay Area has an article about Rep Pete Stark.
Rep. Pete Stark believes in democracy and free speech — but not in God.

Stark, who says he's "a Unitarian who does not believe in a supreme being," is the first member of Congress — and the highest-ranking elected official in the country — to do so. ...

Former state Assemblyman John Dutra of Fremont said he might not back Stark next year if he's an atheist.

"I would think long and hard before I would vote for anyone who lacks any kind of religious conviction," he said.

I would think the time should be long past that we'd see discrimination of this type. But I know, by reading the media every day, that it's one of the largest forms of discrimination.
