Ha! Clever.
Every single American politician gets the same picture taken during his first run for office. You know the one, he’s standing in front of some picturesque little church, one hand on his wife’s shoulder, the other hand holding a bible as he gazes skyward. Nowadays they probably do it with Photoshop.
Jefferson was a Deist, Adams was a Unitarian – neither one would be electable today. Last I heard there was exactly one (admitted) atheist in congress.
gah. They all worship at the altar Croesus and Mammon, everything else is just for show.
And I presume that the Bernard Sanders’ own portrait would have the following representation in the background : https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/Fabian_Society_Logo_CMYK.JPG ?… 😉
