It's similar in Catholicism, where even the Pope has said that Catholics who attend mass and belong to social justice associations are worse than atheists!   ""There are those who say 'I am very Catholic, I always go to Mass, I belong to this and that association'"

I'm not sure what he's saying.  Most of the social justice Catholics at my parish belong to associations and groups, volunteer groups, etc. and they talk openly about being in them.  Is that bad?   Atheists are better than activists who are proudly in Catholic groups?
