Of course, as is typical in the protestant fundamentalist orbit, he never turned a critical eye towards his own beliefs, but a jaundiced view of the Catholic heresies is still a start on the road to atheism.
Hardly. It is rather the reverse. Despite the difference in time of origin of each creed, Catholicism would be a step towards rationalism and atheism too large to be easily imagined by the casual bystander compared to the brand of fundamentalism he espoused.
