In a bizarre twist, the conclave has decided to elect a random Atheist as pope - believing they will show the world that Atheists don't have any better answers than octogenarian celibates. You've been selected - what would you do?
Remember, disbanding the church really isn't an option because the adherents aren't going to give up just because an Atheist Pope said to abandon faith. Realistically, what could you do as Pope that would actually have a positive impact on the world?

Unfortunately, I don't think I could live with actually condemning people to death so I would probably put a stop to it at that point.

I would decree, citing papal infallibility, that Jesus wants every adult Catholic in the world to kill one adult Muslim and then commit suicide. Then I would wait ten minutes and announce that I was only kidding.

Sell off the assets to establish trusts to help medical, scientific and social programs such as vaccinations, contraception and access to healthcare. Open up the Vatican libraries and sealed documents to public scrutiny.
