In the US (which I think is where the author hails from) there's fewer atheists represented in congress than Muslims. (in fact technically none, only one or two members identify as 'non-observant'. That's fairly astonishing given that atheism or some form of secularism is probably the pluralistic, if not majority position among people with the kind of education status who get elected to that representative body.

I wish they had also asked survey participants about LaVey Satanism :-) I personally suspect the majority cult among politicians is actually Mammon (love of money) or Moloch-Baal (love of violence).
