Well gorsuch is almost a non believer or non religious and is on the court
Neil Gorsuch is pretty secular and doesn’t really come across as that religious, though he was raised as both a Catholic and an Episcopalian.
Episcopalian is just a nice way of saying you like to go to church for cultural reasons twice a year (perhaps three times if you attend a wedding or funeral), but you're basically irreligious.

Even as someone whose religious views are much more conservative than the average American's, I wouldn't have any issue with nominating an atheist to the Supreme Court, which is why I've never understood why so many Americans are opposed to atheists in office.  Is it a generational thing?

Many people perceive the atheist label as implying antipathy towards religion. Most people would rather identify as unaffiliated or irreligious.
