  As opposed to the current situation: fuck anyone who lives in a town with MORE than 50,000?  How is that better?
  Serious question:  Why should someone's individual vote count for less, because they choose to live in a big city vs. a small town?  How is that morally defensible?
context: Also worth noting 26% of the US are non-religious and have 0% of the Supreme Court (and 0.2% of Congress). >
  
  There’s an “out” atheist in Congress? Who? >
  
  Ignoring all the other religious connotations...
  
  She is replaced by Kai Kahele, who declined to specify a religious affiliation.
  One member, California Democratic Rep. Jared Huffman, describes himself as a humanist. He is listed in the “other” category. Fewer than three-tenths of 1% of U.S. adults specifically call themselves humanists.
  Sinema is the only member of the 117th Congress who identifies as religiously unaffiliated. Both Sinema and Huffman have said they do not consider themselves atheists.
  
  Although this is just for the 117th. >
  
  That is so bad.  Get some atheists in power asap >
  
  I'm betting quite a few in Congress are actually atheists, and their religious convictions purely performative. >
  
  The fact they maintain that illusion is an entirely separate, and equally problematic, thing. >
  
  No shit. >
  
  Republican majority Congress disproportionately filled with religious extremists, more at 11.  And here's Tom, with the weather! >
  
  Ahh religion…. The great explanation for all things…
  At least until we got the internet and access to all human knowledge. >
  
  That shit falls apart real fuckin quick. >
  
  Even before I ever had internet I’d be in church Sunday school poking tons of plot holes in Christianity. Whenever I had a question like how did a guy part the sea? Or if Adam and Eve were the first two people, how did their kids have kids? Basic valid questions but I’d just get in trouble or they’d tell my parents and I’d get beat for it later. And believe it or not beating the “truth” into children only shows them how fucked religion is >
  
  It’s almost as though congress has been rigged to over represent small isolated communities and under represent large diverse communities… >
  
  You're right.  Anyone not in a large city deserves no representation at all.  Fuck anyone in a town with a population less than 50,000
