Benedict apparently worries that secular Western culture does this. So presumably if you like religion you should agree. I think "mockery" is a bit strong, but isn't criticism of religion a moral duty? If we secular atheists should not criticize religion then shouldn't you religious people also not criticize us?

I'm an atheist, and I wholeheartedly agree with you. Unfortunately, most of the religious do not see it as a two way street. They think they are allowed to criticize us in order to "save" us.

to criticize doesn't mean you should lie. and if you wanna lie you should be able to find out the truth.
otherwise it will be mockery and will offend people.
i welcome criticism and i dont criticize other religions or lack thereof.
but i will not accept mockery.
to you yours and to me mine. i would appreciate it if people can understand this.
