Oregon legislator says Christians best for public office.

State Rep. E. Werner Reschke of Oregon, who serves as the Oregon chair of the National Association of Christian Lawmakers, suggested during a radio show that Christians are best suited for public office, while atheists and Muslims are not. Reschke claimed that individuals who understand the nature of truth, man, government, and God are the ones who should be making tough decisions in government. His comments were criticized by State Sen. Kayse Jama, who stated that they go against American values and the aspiration of building a more inclusive society. Rep. Farrah Chaichi expressed concern for the communities targeted by Reschke's remarks, stating that they undermine trust and goodwill. [Extracted from the article]
