Albert Farr whines about what a “huge person” one must be to embrace Christianity in our “secular population.”

Here’s a challenge for Mr. Farr: I’ll give you $5 for every current Presidential candidate, U.S. Senator, U.S. Congressman or governor who has publicly claimed to be an atheist while in office or while running for office.

That’s about 600 of the most powerful people in this country. In one week from today, we’ll forward your list to this editorial page.

This list will give us some idea of the persecution Mr. Farr has heroically faced from atheists in power.
