Separation of church and state only means no state condoned churches. It does not mean an individual must throw aside their religious beliefs when acting on behalf of the state, any more then it means they must set aside all personal bias.
This is both unreasonable and impossible to expect.
You are just spouting pearls of wisdom today cdtm🙂

Then you want the majority underrepresented. The vast, vast, majority believe in some form of religion.The Washington Post tries to underplay 40 percent of white Christians as a "minority", but compared to the number of atheists in total that's actually a tremendous number. Not to mention it's hypocritical of the post to dismiss 40 percent of the population, while championing a mere 1 percent to 12 percent of minority representation as something of concern to the entire country.
They would still have 8 people believing in their silly superstitions.
I wouldn’t even care if it was a conservative atheist.
I heard that the confirmation hearings won't start until the 12th. Why don't they start them sooner if getting her confirmed before the election is so important? Why a two week delay?
It's not like they are overwhelmed with more important matters lol. Are they still working on a stimulus package for all the people being out of work from the lockdowns?
