"(CNN) -– American atheists welcomed Pope Francis’ comments that God redeems nonbelievers, saying that the new pontiff's historic outreach is helping to topple longstanding barriers.
“The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone,” the pope told worshipers at morning Mass on Wednesday. “‘Father, the atheists?’ Even the atheists. Everyone!”
Francis continued, “We must meet one another doing good. ‘But I don’t believe, Father, I am an atheist!’ But do good: we will meet one another there.”
Roy Speckhardt, executive director of the American Humanist Association, said that although he has been skeptical of Francis' outreach to the nonreligious, he welcomed Wednesday’s comments."
2) We are not saved by simply doing good things....
3) Redemption is for ALL--Who want it-problem is, some reject it...
4) Sorry Francis....with all due respect-ATHEISTS are not going to be down here shaking their fists at the idea of God but then walking the streets of Heaven one day or roaming about the New Earth.
.Being filled with all unrighteousness,..haters of God,.... Romans 1:30
