Ah, to save the West (and presumably liberal democracy), we must destroy its foundations?
Why don't we ban all of the Abrahamic religions while we are at it? You can never be too sure...
Then again, communism is atheist. When I looked up how many people were killed by communists in Korea, Cambodia, Soviet Union, China, Vietnam, Laos, and Cuba, and other communist nations, they killed an estimate of more than a hundred million people since the Bolshevik revolution.
The most brutal inquisition, the Spanish inquisition , killed less than 8,000 people in a 200 year period (of a very illiterate unenlightened age. )
So, doing away with Religion isn't the answer, as atheists have not proven to be more peaceful on average .
I would say that if there were radical Catholic regimes conquering cities, cutting off heads, crucifying people, setting off car bombs, burning people to death, blowing up Buddhist temples, calling on people worldwide to join them and commit violence in America and Europe, we should declare war on Radical Catholicism and not let any people into our country from the radical Catholic sectors of the world.
And yes, for national security purposes we should be suspicious of Catholics in such a situation, because Common Sense would dictate to us that we don't know who is good and who is bad.
However, if you actually read the official teachings of Catholicism, there is not one thing in the catechism that justifies any of the atrocities that Catholics have committed
That isn't true of some other Religions .
So, I can actually prove that it is a religion of Peace, humility, poverty of spirit, innocence, honesty , and charity, according to what the official teachings of the Church are.
Sadly, by looking at the behavior of Catholics you wouldn't know.
