Most British politicians are either agnostoc/atheist or subscribe to a totally secular approach to public life. This is the case in most of Northern Europe.

I am sure that there are, but I am also sure that they are not OPENLY atheist/agnostic, because making that publicly known would completely ruin their chances of ever getting elected. A lot of Catholic Americans care more about beliefs than how competent someone is as a politician and with Catholics being a huge majority in the U.S., no openly atheist/agnostic will get elected into an important position any time soon. Some states even have a law that says that atheists can't run for public office.

Yes. We have just about every kind in Congress or senator Or even in the White House, But we are able to come together not for religion, but for political laws

A politician will follow the belief that gives them the highest returns.
Simple.

No in fact it is illegal in some states and polls say that people would vote for a gay politician over an Atheist. Pretty F***ed up S***. I think it should be mandated that they must be gay & Atheist to run for office.

If they're a well educated and intelligent sample of the population then undoubtedly there are some in congress, however they'll have had to lie about it to get elected by their superstitious and ignorant electorate.

They wouldn't make point to tell everyone here. Many people wouldn't vote for them just because of that. But I am equally sure that there are.

They still have religion playing a dominate position in the matter. Just not as much as some countries.
