New Caucus in US Congress

A core of four US members of congress have started a new caucus to support non-theists.

This week, Democratic Reps. Jared Huffman (CA), Jamie Raskin (MD), Jerry McNerney (CA), and Dan Kildee (MI) announced the formation of a new caucus, known as the Congressional Freethought Caucus, to safeguard the interests of nontheists in government, and to promote policies based, in their view, on reason and science.

I should think promoting policies based on reason and science should be the fucking default.

This week in god

Well, in the past, politicians in the US would probably claim that it is the default, and that a "Freethought Caucus" would be unnecessary. Of course, they'd be wrong.

Anyway, good for them.

First sentence of the article :

First up from the God Machine this week is a new faith group on Capitol Hill that, for the first time in history, exists for members of Congress who aren’t religious.
