    Another Blow for Marxist/Atheism ?

    For Pope Francis, the restoration of relations between the US and Cuba has been a major diplomatic achievement, says the BBC's David Willey in Rome.

    The US had imposed a trade embargo after Cuba's revolution, which it began to lift late last year.

    After the 50-minute private audience on Sunday, Mr Castro told reporters: "The pontiff is a Jesuit, and I, in some way, am too. I studied at Jesuit schools."

    After suggesting he might turn again to the Church, he added: "I mean what I say."

    Both Mr Castro and his brother, revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, were baptised as Roman Catholics, but most Church activities were suppressed after the revolution.

      I don't believe in God so no, it's not the end of atheism in this household.

        Wikipedia says that Cuba ceased self-identifying as Marxist in 1992, and that Catholics currently make up 60% of the country.

          Atheism isn't Marxism. There are no blows to Atheism, every bit of evidence supports it. Religion is one of the worst ideas humanity has created, it held back human progress and was/is used to control, con, murder, rape and torture innocent people. The quicker it dies out the better.

              Unfortunately, you are wrong. ideas are not created, they just come about.
              and ideas on religion have popped up in every civilisation or group of people you can name.


              So if all religions were somehow wiped out today. new ones would sprout up tomorrow.


              if the earth was destroyed and a bunch of scientists survived in a ship on the way to some new gaia, they would get religion. scientists are not immune to religion.

              I doubt that anyone is

                I assume the OP was referring to that in the context of Cuba. Marxism doesn't tolerate religion.

                  Read the Gulag Archipelago by Solzhenitsyn, and find out how atheistic ideology was "used to control, con, murder, rape and torture innocent people". Then go and read a few history books about what happened in China under Mao and under the Gang of Four. While you're at it, throw in some study on Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge.

                  Compare and contrast with, e.g. ISIS, the Inquisition and the Crusades. You should, unless you're blinded by your knee-jerk irrational hatred of religion, come to the conclusion that common factor in evil deeds is not religion, rather "humanity".

                  Then go an watch "The Stranger on the Bridge" to restore some balance.
                  Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                    Just shows how ignorant and unread you are.

                    All you probably read is the Dailymail and have orgasms when someone talks about the "Religion of Peace". I'd suggest you stop browsing Youporn for a day and read a bit about "Interpretation of Religion".
