First, how could this lady ever have gotten elected to congress in the first place? I thought belief in the God of the Bible was a litmus test for holding public office. To me, an atheist, I have no objection with people who do believe in a god. What I object to strongly is the attempt to force the existance of such god to be codified in the nation's laws. There are many reasonable believers out there who realize that for themselves and everybody else in America, the cause of their own religious freedom is best served by strictly adhering to separation of church and state. After all, it's not about keeping "God out of government". It's about keeping YOUR god out of MY government. Supporting a reasonable approach, Enjoy Fall!
