They Tried to Make His Atheism a Scandal. He Won Anyway

When atheist elected official Neil Polzin ran for re-election as City Treasurer of Covina, California, he faced an unusual challenge. A right-wing political action committee attacked him for communicating with members of The Satanic Temple, while a local church publicly endorsed his opponent. In another era, that kind of religious fearmongering might have worked. Instead, voters gave Polzin another victory.
