The Archbishop of Westminster has urged Christians to treat atheists and agnostics with “deep esteem”.

So far so good.

The leader of Roman Catholics in England and Wales said that a “hidden God” was active in everyone’s life.

Err, no.

“I want to encourage people of faith to regard those without faith with deep esteem because the hidden God is active in their lives as well as in the lives of those who believe.” BBC

So he wants the believers to not actually respect us atheists, but to instead just think to themselves that actually really we do have God and we just don’t know it and he’ll look after us etc etc. That’s garbage.
You either respect someone or you do not.
Pretending to respect is ….. I worked with several people who would say “If I don’t say it you you then I won’t say it at all” and they were without exception that nastiest bitchiest people. So they would appear to respect, appear to be nice but all along they had different ideas. How is this behaviour different to what that idiot Murphy-O’Connor is telling others to do?

And what’s this “without faith” about? What he means is without the faith he has. Given the garbage he preaches I’d be surprised if there are any that do agree with him but that statement excludes other faiths. The Church being divisive ? Never..
