This Pope is Out of His Fucking Mind.

Pope Benedict XV has arrived in Britain promoting an outspoken anti-secular message sure to further anger his opponents.
In a speech outside Holyrood House, the Pope warned against "aggressive forms of secularism" and "atheist extremism".
The comments had strong overtones of those which came from his advisor, Cardinal Walter Kasper, who stepped out of the trip yesterday after a German magazine quoted him saying the UK was in the grip of "a new and aggressive atheism.
The Pope's decision to deliver a highly political speech while stood next to the Queen will enhance the sense that he has come with a warning about the direction of British society...
Concluding a passage on the Nazis, he said: "As we reflect on the sobering lessons of the atheist extremism of the Twentieth Century, let us never forget how the exclusion of God, religion and virtue from public life leads ultimately to a truncated vision of man and of society and thus to a reductive vision of the person and his destiny."

He is just spewing hate now. His claims are not based in facts of any kind.
If religion provided any positive moral influence upon a society, we would see this reflected in crimes committed. Although when we look at the demography of criminal activity, we find that religion has no positive benefit(and in some specific cases can encourage violence or intolerance). The non-religious(per capita) are dramatically under-represented in the prison population. At about 10% of the US population(some count the number as high as 16%), they comprise less that 1% of the prison population.
