It doesn't matter how large our numbers grow if we vote below our weight compared to conservative Christians."<ref>[https://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/2021/12/14/survey-says-a-record-number-of-americans-have-no-religious-affiliation/ Survey Says: A Record Number of Americans Have No Religious Affiliation] by Hemant Mehta, 2021</ref>
