This is an extremely reductive way of looking at the issue.
You have no idea who that priest is or what sect he’s a part of. The only thing I know for sure is that he opposes these fascist freaks enough to get out and protest them.
I’m an atheist myself, but I bet I have far more in common with this priest than a “fellow atheist” like the current president. The only thing you’re doing here is driving a wedge between allies on the left based on your preconceptions.
A priest being attacked by the fascists sends a message to other religious people. Without allies (yes, even Christian ones) and solidarity the left is doomed.
