To me this makes sense.
Pope suggests it’s better to be an atheist than a bad christian

The pope says lots of things that aren't quite so. Could you find something a bit more recent, I kinda like reading that nonsense from him. It lets me know I'm on the right track.
Expand your thinking
It’s possible to disagree with an article and not respond with a personal attack you know.
Try it.

The pope is right.
Those who are the most “ religious “, the ones who insist they’re christian and preach are usually the ones who lead the most un-christian lives and do the most damage . Examples: Billy Graham and his son.
I disagree. The only criteria for being a Christian is (paraphrasing) belief in God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit; resurrection of Christ; communion of Saints; and the return of Christ/judgement day. There are good and bad people who are Christians. Being Christian doesn't somehow magically make someone moral and being immoral doesn't make them a "bad" Christian.
