9. The Vatican should stop being a country of it's own with darker secrets than any other country.

When a country does bad things it is usually radically changed. The Soviet Union is an example.
All the way back through the Dark Ages into the Crusades, the 20th Century and association with Nazis they have too much political control over the common rights of individuals. No one religion from Christianity to any other should decide a persons individual "common sense" rights. People should not murder, steal or take advantage of the fearful or weak. Duh. It doesn't take a religion to determine that.
It takes a belief. Belief is not necessarily belief in a god spirit or religion. Pain is pain no matter what one believes and all humans and animals feel pain. Simply. Things that that cause pain should not be acceptable in any society. There are exceptions. Surgery can cause pain but it is for a good cause. If a religion or belief causes hurt, murder or pain that part of that religion or belief causing that pain should be changed. It's nothing more that a belief in common sense. Common sense is not a religion.
