I'm almost 80% certain he was a hypochondriac. I wonder if there's any correlation with believing you're sick with all manner of illnesses and believing in a god.
The former reinforces the latter. Think about it, you are always afraid of having a serious illness, you pray for god to not having an illness, go to the doctor that tells you you don't have anything wrong, hallelujah, prayer answered, god healed you!
That's was exactly one of my thought processes on it. In "Fred"'s case, I just think that he's willing to believe anything without truly analyzing the facts first. He's adamant about believing in the god of the Bible...well...because he likes it. Nothing more beyond that. He believes he's eternally ill for no apparent reason as well. The doctors couldn't find anything wrong with him, and when they determined that he was indeed sick, they couldn't pinpoint the cause of his deteriorating health.
However, since getting out of the Air Force, he's miraculously better. I have some of my own theories on this, but you guys are smart, so I'll let you come to the same conclusions I did without spoiling the ending.
