Sorry America, Congress does not represent you For example, American atheists and agnostics outnumber Evangelical Christians yet they get almost no representation in Congress. There is polling data that indicates secularists (atheists and agnostics) are America’s largest and fastest- growing “religious group” with around 26% of the population, yet Congress pays no attention to their concerns. Racially things are worse; nonwhites make up 38% of America’s population but only 19% of the 115th United States Congress, Pew Research reported. There were 57.5 million Hispanics or 18% of the US population, but only 39 Latinos in Congress - or around 12% of its members.
