Okay, they're douchebags, but are they wrong? Namedropping doesn;t speak to that, imagining that the people you namedrop are super smart doesn't speak to that. Smart people have dumb ideas. Smart people with dumb ideas still manage to accomplish great things (even dumb people with dumb ideas occasionally hit on something by accident). It's good that we do, frankly, or we'd be in pretty bad shape.
If someones religious beliefs motivate them to do great things, good for them, good for us? That doesn't change the status of their religious beliefs. Attributing the existence of hospitals to religious beliefs, however, is a step too far. Hospitals are and have been built by people who don't share those beliefs, and by people who have no beliefs. No ones religious beliefs ever hammered a single nail.
Respect? Jesus christ you're a privileged lot. Why don't you get some respectable beliefs, rather than trying to siphon respect from respectable people and respectable buildings? Too much to ask?
