Shhhhhh! The Kinkster Is An Atheist?

When I encountered Natalie Angier this morning, I had no idea that she would turn up on a Weblist of celebrity non-believers. I knew that Robert G. Ingersoll was the celebrity atheist of the late 19th-century and that Clarence Darrow was the celebrity atheist of the early 20th century and that Madalyn Murray O'Hair was the celebrity atheist of the late 20th century. However, I was shocked to see the Kinkster in the F-list of atheists. This is going to make for a difficult gubernatorial (goobernatorial?) campaign in early 21st century Texas. The Kinkster is not only weird, but he's an atheist? The Republican Right is going to have a field day. If this is (fair & balanced) doubt, so be it.
