I am an atheist (and have been for over 50 years). But I recognize that religious leaders can have a great deal of influence over their followers. That influence can be for good or evil.
The Catholic conclave has chosen a new Pope - Pope Leo the 14th. Most pundits seem to think he is much like Pope Francis, and is a strong believer in social justice. I hope they are right, since he will be a strong influence on about 1.4 billion people around the world.
We shall see.
