That’s right, heathens: simply identify “the highest level atheist, humanist, freethinker or other nontheist currently holding elected public office in the United States of America” for the Secular Coalition of America, and if your candidate comes out on top, you’ll win a cool grand. Spend it on coke, dildos, ecstasy, even a Baby Jesus Butt Plug - anything to help promote the Liberal Atheist Sodomite Baby-Killing FemiNazi Agenda ™.

The full details:

The Secular Coalition for America (SCA) will award one thousand dollars ($1,000) to the person who identifies the highest level atheist, humanist, freethinker or other nontheist currently holding elected public office in the United States of America.* The SCA is an advocacy organization representing the interests of nontheists in the nation’s capital.

Although our Constitution states, “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States,” the religion of our elected officials figures prominently in America. As a nation, we have made progress in preventing religious bias from influencing some electoral choices. John F. Kennedy in 1960 was the first Roman Catholic to become President and Keith Ellison from Minnesota, if elected this November, would become the first Muslim to be elected to Congress. Members of other groups once precluded from the political arena because of prejudice (such as women, African Americans, Jews, Mexican Americans, Mormons and gay/lesbians) have been elected to public offices; however, atheists, humanists, freethinkers and other nontheists are invisible in the electoral arena.

Nontheists contribute to the American way of life in all other professions including scientists, entrepreneurs, doctors, authors, engineers, and soldiers; they should not be excluded from public service or feel the need to remain in the closet.

Help the Secular Coalition for America find the secular public servants courageous enough to acknowledge they are nontheistic.

The deadline is December 31, so get moving.

Via the Friendly Atheist (which is clearly an ironic moniker, since all atheists are by definition e-vil!).
