Sorry if it seemed like I was being "diversionary" etc.  I was trying
to be sarcastic since I couldn't take the charge against the Catholic
Church seriously, I just didn't succeed very well, apparently. What
I was trying to point out was that

1) I don't think that Vatican policy was to kill Jews.
2) It seems clear to me that saying that Catholic policy was to 
   kill Jews (and Atheists) was simply meant to insult Catholics
   and attack their religion.

I didn't make the point very well, I'll admit.  If there are any Jews
reading this thread who thought I was serious about "Jewish Atheists"
I want to appologize.  I was trying to poke fun at someone who said the
Nazis killed "Atheists" when it's pretty clear to me that the Nazis 
went after potential political enemies (or ones they considered potential
enemies) and Jews and a few other nationalities.  The attempt to make 
Atheists victims of the Nazis when what the Nazis were attacking was
Bolshevics seemed ridiculous to me.
