That's not what your quote said. It didn't say anything about people who think religion is an important "part" of who they are.
The quote says "for a religious view to inform who a person is..."
I interpret this to mean, "when a person's religious views make up an important part of who he considers himself to be." But I admit, the English is very unclear.
What do you interpret it to mean?
And again, do you think that when religious views make up a significant portion of a person's identity, this makes a person "not much" and having "scant hope of being much more"?
