This information took me less than ten seconds to find. I think it safe to assume that the rest of the data you post, with its abundance of right wing tropes, is similarly accurate, and you are similarly disinterested in actual facts.
Your repeated statement that atheists lack morals is as valuable as an overflowing septic tank. Show me a believer whose faith moves him to oppose an injustice and I will show you a thousand who believe with absolute conviction that the injustice is the will of their imaginary playmate.
50.1% is no more a majority than 49.9% because there is not Christian government that they all vote in. The majority of Catholics are in poor countries with little influence in Latin America.
Based on what? What do you know about Christianity that would lead you to the conclusion that non-Papists would follow Catholic ideology or allow the Pope to speak for them? Everything that has been trotted out as condemnation of Christians is not applicable to 49.9% of Christians and mostly based on events that are from hundreds of years ago.
Who do you think was calling out the pedo priests the loudest? Every non-Catholic Christian! There's a reason that Protestants encourage Reverends to be married and have families. And in the scheme of things, far fewer children are being abused by priests than are being scarred for life by Covid-19.
1) there are millions of celibate people who don't molest children. The factor that concentrates pedophilia in Catholic priests is likely something else.
2) the comparison with COVID makes no sense what so fucking ever.

Yes, it does. Human Rights, whether we are talking about the right to life or the right to not be assaulted are both driven by morality that values human life. Yes, I know there are different thresholds of what constitutes a violation of Human Rights, and those scales can make one group more repugnant than another based on where your thresholds are. The point of my comment was that the CCP, and especially Xi Jinping clearly have a very, very low threshold for what is acceptable to do to another person in comparison to the majority of people today that follow one of the Abrahamic religions. Even among Muslims, the majority are peaceful and value the lives of non-Muslims, but the actions of radicals overshadow them. In the case of the CCP, the entire party is devoid of a moral code that values human life, so things like removing the liver of a Falon Gong follower while he's alive doesn't raise any eyebrow within the CCP.
"The Catholic church does not represent a majority of Christians"
In a stunning and wholly unexpected turn of events, you are wrong.

Catholics: 50.1%
Protestants: 36.7%

Yes like the aggressive protection of pedophile priests. Centuries ago. Siding against gays and lesbians in social policy. Far in the past.
Do just go away.
As for what I know about Christianity… bring it. Let’s start with the Valentian Heresy, Iranaeus, Origen and Tertullian. Anytime, Anywhere.
