RE: [Atheism UK] Re: what do you think the next popes policies should be?

Yes, morality IS subjective.

For example, 200 years ago, slavery was thought normal, and there was
absolutely nothing wrong with it. Today, slavery is a crime.

Morals change with circumstance. (Hopefully, they improve, but there is no
guarantee of that.)
