Oh, wait, Congressman Pete Stark (D-CA) is an atheist Unitarian Universalist. [link]
So my preceding argument is invalid, I guess. He's been in Congress for quite a while. I wonder if he could get elected as a freshman member today?

Oh, thank heavens.
I just spent an hour on the phone with a woman who runs a consulting service placing the elderly in assisted living. She's marvelous: sympathetic and knowledgeable, and free. (Although I would be more than happy to pay for her services.)
Seems to think that even with my mother's trifecta of issues (dementia, mental health, mobility-impaired), we can find a facility that will take both my parents and keep them together and give my mother the care she needs and my father the support he needs and all that without breaking the bank.
It will mean a lot of ugliness getting there because my mother is so incredibly difficult (suspicious, paranoid, nasty), but if we can do it, there is almost certainly a place that will take them.
Dear sweet jebuslug, let us be able to do this.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's great, Consuela. I'm so glad you found someone who can help!

Apparently, the proportion of the pop who claim atheist is growing.
Paul Ryan is a conservative Catholic (supposedly) but was an apostle of Ayn Rand. I have heard him speak quite fervently about Rand and not about Jesus. I wonder, in my heart of hearts, if he really believes in God.

I saw one interview where he said that he believes in Ayn Rand's economic policies, but not her "philosophy," by which I assume he meant atheism. I'm not certain whether he counts her "charity is evil" position as economics or philosophy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Young people especially are abandoning organized religion in droves. This seems to be entirely due to homophobia in many churches today.
