..takes me back to my hometown of Portland, Oregon.. I don’t know that he’s ever openly proclaimed his atheism, though I bet it wouldn’t be too hard to squeeze it out of him. And what a guy..

They will sell their souls to anyone for the Almighty Dollar. With all the blood on their hands I would have to thing that they are all qualified Fascists if that qualifies as a Religion. I don't consider the Southern Christian Coalition religious by any stretch of the imagination.

Although I hesitate to claim him to say the least I believe trump is an atheist/apathetic/agnostic who is using religion as a cloak. Im sure quite a few others do the same for insidious reasons and quite a few for decent reasons. Its not legal for me as an atheist to run for any state gov positions in TN though and people still have a great deal of prejudice against atheists. Some poll said people literally trust child molesters more somehow, thats how warped the psyche of the religous ring wingnuts is at this point.

It seems to be fashionable in politics to at least pretend to believe in a god of some sort.

I am unaware that there are any. At least none that are open about it.
