Right.
When a religious person does something bad, it's because of religion. When a religious person does something good, inspired by and influenced by his/her religions to do it, all of the sudden religion has nothing to do with it.
Quoting "Steven Weinberg" (whoever he is) doesn't make this inconsistency/double standard any less bs.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
