No. A Jew can win (which I don't know how many there are in Congress) but any other religion is doubtful (both in running and winning). A flat out secularist would never win.

Your post is implying a false meaning of "secularist". Don't do that. It's bad enough the likes of Newt Gingrich are trying to make it a dirty word.


I consider myself a "secularist". I didn't mean to say in some dirty way. How about person with no religion?

That is called an atheist.

What?  No, it's not.  Something like 15% of Americans identify as "unaffiliated," but only 3% identify as atheists.

Quite.  I would think a person who is nonreligious would be called just that - "nonreligious."  "Secularist" has to do with wanting a separation between religion and public life.

Bernie Purple heart

EDIT: Yes, I understand that he is Jewish, but he is obviously a non-religious Jew.  This is grand, because it means the GOP won't really be able to go after him in that context without looking more awful than they already are. 

Campaign theme song?
