Why does the Pope act as if he is a closet atheist ?

😅 .. On a serious note though.. Not sure why are many people impressed with what he said.... I mean, saying that it is better to be an atheist rather than Christian hypocrite, I feel it is as if he is implying that atheists are the worst ever so in order to teach his fellow Christians that being hypocrite is bad, he has preferred atheism (a very bad thing) over it! I don't think he meant to compliment atheists as a matter of fact, I don't see what's his point, what do atheists have to do with his argument over some Christians who are hypocrite?!

As I understood it, I think he was having a pop at so called Christians who seem to like religious dogma but not showing real life forgiveness and understanding.
The comparison with Athiests is the idea that they may well be non believers but that doesn't make them non forgiving. Nor does it make them non-compassionate !
In that regard those suggesting living by and constantly quoting dogma, but NOT living up to what they preach probably makes them the worse human being.
