We need more politicians like Pete Stark. He represents true diversity in the US, not some warmed-over trumped-up religious inspired treacle that brings a lie to the so-called Brotherhood of Man. Let's see the religiously inspired show the same tolerance toward secularists, non-believers as we do to them. Let them practice what they preach.

In the meantime, as an American, I think people can believe whatever they want so long as it doesn't do harm to others. Unfortunately, religionists have in the majority have done considerable harm and continue to defend those extremists of whatever faith for continuing atrocities.

I still believe in the Separation of Church and State intended by Jefferson, Madison and even Adams.
