Yes, but it was his opinion on religion being used as a good thing. Here is the difference:

Quote illustrating a point:
"I think religion can be used for good things, charity is an example of this" - X

Quote trying to justify a point:
"I think religion can be used for good things" - Influential person

Using an influential persons opinion to back up a point is a logical fallacy whilst using a person's opinion which justifies itself (first quote) is not.
