Months after Oregon State Rep. E. Werner Reschke said that atheists and Muslims shouldn’t hold public office, he’s been absolved of any wrongdoing by a State House committee. It’s an absurd decision that rewards bigotry in the name of Jesus.

    It’d be a better world if atheists held office. these dumbfucks believe some magical daddy in the sky proclaimed “ABRACADABRA!” and shat out humanity 5,000 years ago.

      You would think so, but I would say that there is absolutely no chance Trump believes in any deity more powerful than himself and I have my doubts about Reagan’s religious piety too.

        I feel like there is a semantic difference between an Atheist and a Pretender. Trump is a Pretender, Reagan was a Pretender. Most of the right wing legislators are pretenders. Both believers and pretenders are dangerous. Actual Athiests are open about their beliefs. They are usually fine.

    I’m willing to bet dude has been to Thailand a few times and spends a lot of his free hours masturbating to pictures of children, just like the rest of these christofascists.
