Why is that (not believing gives him more credibility)? Is this a principle, that can be applied elsewhere?
For me, it depends on the reasons, not the position. I may even agree with someones conclusions, but not with their reasons or method, I don't think that makes them more credible.
To me it depends on the reasoning. If you're a believer, you're emotionally involved and invested.
