I mean, in essence, he's not wrong.

Nearly every federal legislator is Christian and votes that way. Some states still (symbolically, since they're unenforceable) ban atheists from holding public office too, not that you'd even have a chance of winning public office being openly atheist.

In what way do legislators "vote Christian"? Most of them have never read a bible, and even if they did, the bible is wildly contradictory with itself and is full of cruelty.

cruelty

Yeah, you got it.

I mean that used to be true, but I imagine today, when popular culture seems pretty much against the idea of religion

That's inconsequential when the people are largely powerless.
