Washington Post Religious Right Now blogger Jordan Sekulow takes time out from bashing Muslims to mock atheists:

You know the old saying: “There are no atheists in foxholes.” The new Pew Forum report on “The Religious Composition of the 112th Congress” found that on Capitol Hill, there are no elected officials who are atheists.

…

what do atheists have to show for all their grassroots activism? Not one single representative in Congress.

If you click on the link, you'll see that the Pew Forum report notes that Rep. Pete Stark is an atheist -- twice:

Also in 2007, Rep. Pete Stark (D-Calif.), a Unitarian who joined Congress in 1973, became the first and so far only member of Congress to publicly declare that he does not believe in a Supreme Being. He was re-elected in 2010.

…

All six members of Congress who decline to specify an affiliation are incumbents and are counted in this analysis in the “Don't Know/Refused” category. In addition, one member of the House of Representatives, Rep. Pete Stark (D-Calif.), identifies his religion as Unitarian but has also said he is an atheist (does not believe in God). He is counted in this analysis in the “Other Faiths” category, which includes Unitarianism.

The whole point of Sekulow's post was that there are no atheists in Congress. He led his post by making that assertion, and concluded his post by repeating it. And, as his own source reminds us, it isn't true.

Whoops.
