No, I'm not insinuating that he came to this conclusion because of this beliefs. Your first post in this thread said that it should be mandatory that all scientists be atheist. My response was to reinforce my first argument about how unreasonable it would be to do as you originally suggested.
"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."
