Atheist Group Pressures New Members of Congress Not to Join Prayer Caucus

They haven’t even been sworn in yet, but already the newest members of Congress are being pressured by a high-powered atheist group. The group, the American Humanist Association, has sent them letters urging them not to join the Congressional Prayer Caucus.

The letter reads in part, “Incoming House members should know that approximately one in five of their constituents are not religiously affiliated, and even more insist on maintaining the wall of separation between church and state … I ask you not to join the Congressional Prayer Caucus…”
