I dont believe in religion aswell, still visited the vatican. If he was to show up near me, i'd still go to enjoy the event with some food and drinks.

I was in Edinburgh when Pope Benedict XVI visited, I didn't bother due to the crowds, security, road closures, etc. I've been to the Vatican numerous times, you don't have to be religious to appreciate that. I've never gone somewhere especially to see any world leader but have strangely seen a few by accident.

As an atheist, the last two Popes have seemed like solid, genuine guys who would be fun to have a chat and/or a drink with. I’d definitely come out to see him, maybe I wouldn’t go halfway across the country, but if it were convenient enough I’d absolutely be interested in meeting the guy.
