Despite growing religious diversity, including the first two Muslim women to serve in the House of Representatives, Christians still dominate in Congress

Ofcourse is our inheritance to dominate anywhere our foot of our feet touches.

They better

Separation 👏🏻 of 👏🏻 church 👏🏻 and 👏🏻 state 👏🏻. Religious biases should not influence decisions for the betterment of their constituent’s lives. Impartiality should be a pre-requisite.

The fact that CNN even frames it in those terms is worrying.

America is gradually shifting towards something it is going to regret much later on.

In spite of it all, you’re still miserable?

To CNN. That might be the dumbest thing you have ever said. Of course there are more Christians in the house than Muslims. What is wrong with you. 3/4% of Americans are Christians and 0.2% are Muslims, DUUHHH. There are also more white men and white women in this country.

Two too many.

Who cares, separation of church and state. We have our constitution. They better dam well follow it.

You’d love nothing better than to eradicate Christians from office. That can also be said for white men. Your identity Politics BS is old and tired.

They tend to be very fruitful and multiply rapidly.

It goes without saying that CNN sucks PR - I feel bad for the people at airports that have to watch this shit

Comedy News Network back at it again.

Why do you dwell on an issue that is no issue. Our Constitutional Republic has a government that governs only actions not opinions or thoughts. There's no religious test for that reason. Outward actions governed by laws developed from reason & natural law Founders said. Wise up!

Wow, no shit?

No surprise there... even in 1960, the US was considering Catholics as “non-Christians” (just look at all the ruckus caused by JFK being Catholic...)

Ummm ...so what?

Muslims come to destroy us from within. Adm. Ace Lyons spells it out clearly.

What's next a seat held by the Taliban...

If they lived in a muslin majority country they most likely wouldn’t be allowed to leave their house without permission and a male escort let alone be in political office.

I bet you a 4 more years of trump Christianity is not the major one hehe ;)

Well... No surprise there... 'in God we trust' right? And look how prosperous you've become now- to maintain your success i suggest it remains that way...

Congress is full of people who believe in a gene in the sky......... That's what I just read.

Uh, that would be because we were founded as a Christian Nation thus represent the majority. But yes CNN, let's once again attempt to sow division.

I wonder what we can do to combat the lack of eye color diversity? Too many people with brown eyes in Congress. Obviously this is due to inequality and oppression.

Which one married her brother?!?

'Despite'? What's your problem CNN? Hate Christians? Pontifex Did you know?

Please stop promote any kind of religion. It’s unhealthy for society,politicians and especially kids.

Thank goodness!

Praise the lord

Certainly Christians will continue to dominate in US Congress! Despite Satanist/atheist socialist indoctrination, 🇺🇸 IS Christian nation! 💒

'Christians' (sorry, I felt the strong need to insert air quotes)

Kama Sutra

Christians dominate until it comes to voting on legislation for the poor and hungry ... or weapons/acts to kill others

And

Read each & every State preamble. You will find Christian prayer. Fact.

Wow, CNN takes the picture that encapsulates the most diverse congress in US history and tries to turn it into a fail. Good work.

can’t wait for sharia law.

And anti-Semite. Glad they finally have a voice.

I don't think we needed CNN to tell us this.

Isn't the US over-whelmingly Christian?

Demonstrating your HATE towards Christians Now? Sad. Last time I check they founded this Country.

....and?

It all boils down to identity politics for Dems and CNN

That is good. You write the article as if you wished it would change. As if this religious inclusivity will bring something better. It may just as quickly bring something worse. You don’t know one way or the other. We wont know until its too late if its not good.

What is the point? It is democracy working..

So whats your stupid point.

Not for long! More and more people break free from these cults every day. Non believers are the fastest growing group. I for 1 love this!!!

And it wouldn’t matter if they kept their religion separate from their jobs like they’re supposed to.

Makes sense the 'Founding Fathers' were Christian. I don't understand why they try to erase Christianity from public places it's history.

A diverse Congress is worth celebrating — but it’s just a start, experts sayAnalysis: More people of color does not automatically equal robust advocacy or significant change. Race is sooooo important to liberals. I dream of a day when people are NOT judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. To liberals, character only matters if you are a conservative Largest group negatively affected by illegal immigration is the African American community Well, the lack of Blacks Latinos was a matter of concern for me, and for most people I know as was the low numbers of women in Congress. So I would say my issues are being addressed. And some of the newly elected members have already begun taking up other issues I find important.

In pictures: The most diverse Congress in U.S. historyWith more women and more ethnic and religious diversity, Congress now looks more like the public it represents. That's what matters.

The New Congress: Fewer Christians But Still ReligiousPew Research finds that more than 99 percent of the Republican members of Congress identify as Christian, as opposed to 78 percent of the Democrats. Only one member identifies as unaffiliated. Why did I know the Democrat number would be lower... Nature is sexist. I’ll consider that more of a lateral than progress.
