Congress Likely To Get Its Only Openly Atheist Member In November [View all]
Jamie Raskin doesn’t hide his belief that people can lead ethical lives without fearing God.
Raskin is perhaps best known in nontheist circles for testimony he gave in 2006 in favor of marriage equality in Maryland, when he reminded a state senator that lawmakers “place their hand on the Bible and swear to uphold the Constitution. They don’t put their hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible.”
