Today the new Pope said that he worries that Catholics are not attending church and that they should avoid becoming "practical atheists"...
What an insult to Atheists. Atheists are atheists because they don't believe in a god, your god, any god. They aren't lazy catholics/christians, they've thought about REALITY and come to the conclusion that sky wizards are an unlikely component of it.
What the world should be worried about is NOT becoming a "practical atheist", but a "true believer" in nonsense. The ones committing genocides/assisting genocides/warring against other countries because of religion... the ones who teach their children to "learn by authority" and not through evidence and reason.
Whether this pope is better or worse than the last pope, honestly I don't give a crap. Religions are a relic from a time when we didn't understand the world and we created stories to make ourselves feel more secure, but it needs to go away now and we need to build communities around more solid beliefs and traditions that are healthy for humanity.
