As with Ken Ham, there's money to be made in evangelical Christian apologetics, and considering the fact that Craig is pulling in at least 6-figures, if not 7, annually, he is simply not going to quit. It would mean the end of his marriage and his lavish lifestyle. Deep down he may already be at least an agnostic, but he's making money and his wife is happy and they are both getting to travel (at other people's expense) and are enjoying the good life.
This is very interesting. Out of curiosity, I've considered that closeted atheists or agnostics, who have built their career, social status, and name through theistic/religious endeavors, would be among the best and brightest of its defenders. With the fear of exposure, these people would be masters of disguise: they'd be well-versed in the art of clothing themselves in good deeds and would be exceptionally skillful at taking the spotlight off of themselves and redirecting it toward some brave, new banner of righteousness; thus, protecting and solidifying their reputation and image.
P.S. I'm not making any implications about anyone; I'm merely sharing a general observation and thought. Thanks for your post, Jehanne.
