Keep Religion out of Government: Vote Democrat

Via Pharyngula, we learn that Democrats vote more reliably in ways that support secular issues - and, thus, fight against the creeping Christianization of America. The full story can be found here, at the Secular Coalition for America, but suffice to say that representatives' scores reflect their votes on bills pertaining to the Boy Scouts' prohibition of atheist leaders, the service academies' bans on religous proselytizing, funding for stem-cell research, and same-sex marriage; senators' scores reflect their votes regarding various wingnut judges.

Pharyngula breaks the Senate down for us in Minnesota: DFLer Dayton gets a perfect 100-point score, Repug Coleman a perfect 0-point score. In other words, Dayton has voted perfectly against religious initiatives, Coleman for them. Looking at the House scorecard, we see pretty much the same thing: Sabo and McCollum score well; Gutknecht, Kennedy, and Kline very poorly.
