On facebook and the web, this quote below is shared thousands of times. But is it correct?
'It is not necessary to believe in God to be a good person. In a way, the traditional notion of God is outdated. One can be spiritual but not religious. It is not necessary to go to church and give money — for many, nature can be a church. Some of the best people in history do not believe in God, while some of the worst deeds were done in His name.'
There is no record of Pope Francis actually saying this. He did say something about doing good whether one believed in god or not, but as far as I know, did not use the above words.
