WASHINGTON Thousands of professing atheists and agnostics from across the country descended on Washington, D.C. today for the Reason Rally, an event that is designed to discuss politics from a godless perspective.
...
Several lawmakers were also tapped to speak at the rally, including Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hi.), a Hindu, and Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.), a professing Christian, as well as Maryland State Senator Jamie Raskin, a progressive Jew.

So what's up with christian news reporters and Hindus and Jews? Atheists and Christians "profess", Jews are merely "progressive" and Hindu's? nothing? Not one adjective?

Professing this professing that. If they disagree with a fellow christian he becomes professing as well so they can play the no true scotsman card.
