As i pointed out earlier the vatican is wrong to negotiate with atheist terrorists.
Why? Because they're atheists, or because they're terrorists?

Of course you are correct.
Instead, the Catholic Church would be so much better off if they did what they know how to do such as support and enable the many child abusers that they choose to employ.
The attack against the Catholic church in 1793 was lidered by deists as Robespierre in the name of Rousseau's deist philosophy. Therefore they established the cult to Reason and the Supreme Being.Probably worth adding an entry about the Reign of Terror in 18th C France here. From Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reign_of_Terror
The Reign of Terror
There was a sense of emergency among leading politicians in France in the summer of 1793 between the widespread civil war and counter-revolution. Bertrand Barère exclaimed on 5 September 1793 in the Convention: "Let's make terror the order of the day!"...
Enlightenment thought emphasized the importance of rational thinking and began challenging legal and moral foundations of society, providing the leaders of the Terror with new ideas about the role and structure of government...
Religious elements that long stood as symbols of stability for the French people, were replaced by reason and scientific thought.[19][20] The radical revolutionaries and their supporters desired a cultural revolution that would rid the French state of all Christian influence...
In 1789, church lands were expropriated and priests killed and forced to leave France.[23] A Festival of Reason was held in the Notre Dame Cathedral, which was renamed "The Temple of Reason", and the old traditional calendar was replaced with a new revolutionary one...

Catholics strike deal as Protestant churches are bulldozed
Last month the Chinese Government and the Vatican reached a landmark agreement to unite the estimated 10 million Catholics, who are split roughly in half between the underground Catholic church loyal to the Vatican and the state-controlled church.
The details for the agreement are being kept secret, however, what is known is that the Vatican and the Government will now both have a say over the appointment of new bishops across the country, which has been a major point of contention between the two for decades.
In the news again:

So the Vatican are going to allow the Chinese government to have a say in the appointment of bishops in the country. You have to admit these Catholics are survivors. Couldn't find any reference to atheists in the article. If its there I'm sure The Big Dog will find it.
Does this mean that the Vatican is now run by atheists?

Banned Bibles, burnt crosses, exhumed coffins, an estimated 1 million Uighur Muslims reportedly held in re-education camps — nomination aside, adhering to non state-approved religious beliefs is a dangerous pursuit in President Xi Jinping's China in 2018.
Figure that anti catholic bigotry blinds anti religious fanatics from reading anti religious hatred.
Read the entire article folks, and read the posts.
Wow.
adhering to non state-approved religious beliefs is a dangerous pursuit in President Xi Jinping's China in 2018.
I take it from this quote that you now accept what everyone else here has been trying to tell you? That it's about state-control, not about atheisn, which is why there are state-approved religions. If it was about atheism, why are there state-approved religions? Read your own article.
Wow.
If it was not about atheism, why are there state permitted religions that are getting quashed under the thumb of firm Marxist atheists?
Atheism and human rights abuses go together like peas and carrots.
Citation needed for the highlighted, especially as it contradicts your earlier citation.
Citation posted repeatedly in this thread.
So you are now distancing yourself from your most recent posts.
Do you even know what you are arguing for?
Please repost your citations for the state suppression of state-approved religions in China, just so we can see the full extent of your bridge-dwelling duplicity.
