7. Atheists like the pope.

People like Bill Maher, who is openly atheist, like the pope.

The Pope talks about the evils of greed and unregulated capitalism. And he seems to be a really nice guy, on the side of being a kind Christian instead of being the head of the office of the Inquisition, which Benedict, his predecessor, was. They had to change the name of the office. It became the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which sounds better than the Inquisition.

I figure that if the Republicans don't like him, the Pope must be doing something right.

And the same as far as Hillary's defenders.
