Most militant atheists can’t.Maybe without the society's permission in the case of the churches?
And then there are the children who have been indoctrinated when very young?
I don't think we can afford to be quiet about criticizing religion.

compare rc teaching to the bible- its false.Its not a problem at all, if you understand precedent. In January 897, Pope Formosus was indicted for heresy, so they just dug up his corpus and put him on trial.
If Francis, or a subsequent pope gets accused of the same thing, the precedent is there.
distortion of realityI remember when I was in Catholic Prison Camp #225 where they tried to reconcile Evolution and the Bible and really couldn't do it before admitting that the Bible is a fairy tale.
I don't think this is a big theological problem that there wasn't a talking snake any more than any of the more fantastical elements of the Bible.
The bigger problem I see with the Church is that Francis is the first 'Third World" Pope. He represents third-world concerns, which is fair, as the vast majority of the world's Catholics live in Third world countries.
But the Church's wealth comes from the 20% of the world's Catholics who live in wealthy countries.
