Pope - "Atheists are Nazis" - Page 3 - Religion, God, and Theology

This was a number that i saw on the BBC news 3 nights ago. I have tried to source the numbers myself since and failed, only finding that american report that says it is about 4%.
Firstly i trust bbc journalism, but I agree that since i can't source the stats myself I have put myself in a weak position. But I think if you going to attack me for this statistic you are on very dangerous ground indeed.

The prevalence of paedophilia in the Catholic Church is really an aside from the fact that they've made real efforts from the very top of the organisation to hide and protect the offenders in question.

Oh well, what can you do but attack atheists!

Hitler never attended any thules society meetings and didnt much care for them. Himmler was into that stuff, but not Hitler.

Well you could argue that Hitler was really a Muslim, not a Christian, as Carl Jung suggested in the late 30's:

Quote:

We do not know whether Hitler is going to found a new Islam. He is already on the way; he is like Mohammed. The emotion in Germany is Islamic; warlike and Islamic. They are all drunk with wild god. That can be the historic future.

I think you should read that quote a few more times. I really don't think he's saying that Hitler was a Muslim.
