Congress might look like America, but they are still missing diversity of thought.

There isn't a single admitted atheist, at the very least.
True. They would never find a campaign manager, let alone get elected.
There are most likely atheists in the closet in congress. In the words of Dawkins:
"Highly intelligent people are mostly atheists. Not a single member of either house of Congress admits to being an atheist. It just doesn't add up. Either they're stupid, or they're lying. And have they got a motive for lying? Of course they've got a motive! Everybody knows that an atheist can't get elected."
Rep. Pete Stark (D-Cal) has openly acknowledged his nontheism!

(pedantically, i might disagree because there are more than one, but luckily, i know how it was meant)
