"atheists are less than human"

Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor “on the attack” against people of reason by Gavin Orland
(from gavinorland.com)

Murphy-O'Connor, on Radio 4:

We have to stand up to [non-believers]. There is something not totally human if you leave out transcendent [God] and [atheists] are not fully human. They have an impoverished understanding to what it is to be human.

As if the Pope wasn't bad enough, here's another idiot! Believe in God by all means -- I don't and I think you're wrong, but it's your choice.

But don't claim I'm less of a human for not believing in it, because I'm more than happy to start hunting down whatever information is out there on all those kiddy-fiddling priests and all the murdering done in the name of the Lord and throw it back at you.

Dehumanizing a class of people is often done before trying to exterminate members of that group.
