First Congressman in History to "Come Out" as Unbeliever

Now this is news:
On Monday, March 12, the Secular Coalition for America will make history by announcing the name of the first openly nontheistic member of Congress.
Amazing. This story is the fruit of the original contest challenging participants to identify the highest-level government official who was a nontheist...I'd have never guessed they'd get a Congressman. Apparently, this person has the guts to actually announce it themselves! One small step for man, eh? Also see here and here.
