Sometimes he's identified as just a Unitarian (which could mean just a non-trinitarian Christian), but his wikipedia page has him as a UU. If he's a UU, it's possible he's also an atheist/agnostic

But I doubt we'll ever find out if he's an atheist, because he's known for not talking about his perspectice on religion.

was that North Dakota has a Democratic Senator.
I'd imagine that all (or nearly all) UUs are agnostics in the sense of believing it is not possible to know with absolute certainty if God exists or not (I've heard this called "strict" agnosticism).

I guess I believe that. We can't "prove" God. But that doesn't mean I don't completely believe in my gods, and yours too.

At least that's my perception of it. I do believe it's possible to be absolutely certain of the existance of God without being able to prove it. The proof isn't, IMO, part of what makes strict agnosticism strict agnosticism, it's the belief that you can never be certain, the two don't need to be connected.
