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.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.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.

Old Congressman Pete Stark…of 35 years plus in Congress is not only an atheist, but he is just an 'old fart' so to speak who wants to piss off the world. He rants and raves at his constituents and is not a nice guy…he's not a "poster child" that any organization would want to represent them…atheists or otherwise. Check out where he denigrated a constituent who just returned from an overseas deployment to Kosovo…the soldier wrote his congressman (Pete Stark) and got this angry insulting voicemail back. (See the link to the Fox News video below).
