I believe 8 states still have “unenforceable” laws preventing atheists from holding office. Kinda wild.

I’m atheist and the article says we’re more likely to care about politics. Checks out. I strongly encourage voting, even though Dems are a letdown. But ranked choice voting would be a step in the right direction.

What politicians say and what they actually believe is often likely different. For example, how many believe Trump is Christian?

I know one! She's on a local city council.

It's not none but it's not something you go and tell everyone, it's not good politically.

To get to these numbers, people who identify as "nothing in particular" are lumped in with atheists and agnostics. Without that, this group is pretty small. However, they may believe in some kind of god. There's accusations of hypocrisy that atheists are happy to include this group to pump the numbers, but are less welcoming when they learn their actual beliefs.

Still, this atheist does think this represents an important step in removing religion from its dominant position in society.
