If Supreme Court Justices can decide cases based on their Christian religion perhaps...

... it should be expanded to include Justices of all religions. The list of unrepresented religions is very large but shouldn't they also have a vote if we allow Christians that privilege? By the way, I was raised as a Christian.

2. If I were an atheist, agnostic, humanist, ethical culturalist, Unitarian, etc., and

nominated for the USSC, I'd fall back on the classic "Deist" categorization. Good enough for Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, Paine, and other Founding Fathers.

3. I'd correct that to say an "avowed" atheist

It's clear from their behavior that a great many politicians who wear their "faith" on their sleeves are phonies. They aren't Christians as described by the Bible.

They don't care about the sick, the hungry or the homeless. They don't care about women, children, the handicapped or the poor.

These are the people Jesus said must be taken care of to follow his teachings.

These politicians use Christianity as a cudgel. they are not Christians.

I write this as an avowed atheist and I'll bet I know more about what's in "The Good Book" than almost any one of the Republicans in Congress or the Senate.
