For what it's worth, it doesn't sound to me like glare had any idea that the belief about the earth was a personal matter.
And it far, far from the stupidest belief I've heard anyway. The holy books do place Earth right at the focus of the whole universe and pretend like time began with the earth. We know through many years of careful study that this is not the case, far from it. The universe existed for a very long time before the earth was even formed. The only significant thing about the earth is that it's conditions happened to be just right to support various forms of life. Given just how many planets there are out there, it's not surprising that at least one of them would luck out.
