East Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert is an ultraconservative Southern Baptist who's long had it out for atheists, so it might not come as much of a surprise that he's all worked up about something again.

of “religious freedom inclusive of atheist, humanist, non-practicing and non-affiliated individuals.” The competition has a funding ceiling of $500,000, which may be awarded in a grant.“Much to the chagrin of the Left, America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles,” he said in a tweet last week. “Under NO circumstances should we spend up to $500k in TAX DOLLARS to promote atheism and humanism in other countries. The #BidenAdministration must discontinue this Godless, shameful program.
