Don't Join Prayer Caucus, Atheist Leader Implores New Congressmen

The leader of the American Humanist Association has a request for new members of Congress: Don't join the Congressional Prayer Caucus because it "discriminates against non-religious Americans." In a letter to incoming legislators, released shortly after the November 6 elections, the group's director, Roy Speckhardt, complained that some of the over 100 members of the Caucus, founded in 2005 by Congressman Randy Forbes (R-N.C.), "have repeatedly introduced and supported legislation that we feel is unconstitutional and often favors religious institutions and individuals over non-religious institutions and individuals."
