Pope is mad for EU, ay?

What are we, living in the Middle Ages? Our dear beloved....oh wait, your dear beloved (not mine) Pope has criticised (not only lightly but strongly) the European Union for not mentioning god (during the 50th anniversary festivities). The EU is "thus doubting its own identity". WHAAAAT? How dare he? Who is he to say the modern union should thank god for its existance? Okay, admit that christianity has been a major influence in the past but christianity has stolen many things from pagans. Therefore, this current Pope person should also be worried why the EU hasn't thanked pagans for its existance.

In this modern world, where science plays a huge role and less people believe in things like "intelligent design", I can't see why we should thank a two-thousand-year-old belief? Yes, we are what we are because of the history. But ehm...do we need to thank every single happening between now and The Big Bang? Science moves on and we learn new things about old things we thought we already knew thoroughly. So again, why should we listen to an 80-year-old sad man who is not out of this world and is scared of the modern developing world? Yeah, religion is the work place that is shutting down next.
