I would contend that this is the primary raison d'être of religion: identify a problem (even where there isn't one) and then sell itself as the remedy. Combine the carrot of salvation with the stick of post-mortem torture and you have a surprisingly potent recruitment tool.
So his logic can never be considered by an atheist because he is not one himself? He could never have a really good idea because he believes in god? He can not see youth destroying it's self through constant media bombardment lack of faith in one's self and consuming gmo foods?
