This Lawmaker Isn’t Sure That God Exists. Now, He’s Finally Decided to Tell People.
posted on November 9, 2017The Washington Post’s Michelle Boorstein writes about U.S. Rep. Jared Huffman, a Democrat from California who announced his position as a humanist on Thursday. Huffman said, “I suppose you could say I don’t believe in God. The only reason I hesitate is – unlike some humanists, I’m not completely closing the door to spiritual possibilities.” Boorstein adds, “Experts on religious identity in Congress say Huffman seems to be only the second member in contemporary records to describe his ethical system as not being God-based.”
