A new book by Representative Jared Huffman highlights the growing influence of secularism in the United States.

In the book, Rep. Jared Huffman, a Democrat from California and a Humanist, describes Christian nationalism as the most perilous political movement in the country.

Rep. Huffman made headlines in 2017 when he publicly identified as a ‘nonbeliever.’ At the time, he was just one of two members of Congress in modern history to have taken such a step, despite a significant portion of Americans—about 25%—identifying as nonreligious.

This highlights a shift in the political landscape, reflecting changing attitudes towards religion in public life.
