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.
