You might convince a few Haitians that they are stupid for being Catholic, but most would probably be offended at the idea that they have been 'forced' into it.

Even if the whole of that island cast off their religion and took up atheism (which many people here seem to think is the answer to most of the world's ills) they'd still be poverty stricken and stuck in a place on earth where natural disasters are inevitable. They sit on a major faultline, are in 'Hurricane alley', and are resource-poor.

Dodge isn't saying that religion in general is the problem with Haiti. He was specifically pointing out two very partisan individuals here who's motives are, in the case of Limbaugh, political, and in the case of Robertson, racism thinly coated with phony piety.
