Why Are Atheists Not Represented In American Politics?

 With a portion of Americans identifying as having no religion being around 20%, and perhaps even 10% being actually atheist, why are atheists not represented in Congress? The problem is that atheists are unduly regarded with so much distrust. Religious bigotry is still persistent in America. Even moderates are hesitant to vote for an openly atheist candidate. We have a lot of work still ahead of us to have actual social justice, and true equality for all.
