Good article. But wasn't Newton pretty devout, too?So was Galileo, but it didn't do him much good when his experiments contradicted the "logic" of Aristotle, which had inexplicably become virtual holy writ.
Christianity's bad reputation vis a vis science is largely a product of the Rennaisance era, but is not entirely unjustified. The Church's view that some questions should not even be asked was a stifling force on advancement.
On the other hand, the learning of the Greek and Roman eras that survived the Dark and Middle Ages largely did so because of the Church. What happened was science outgrew the constraints of strict dogmatic faith.

The Church has never held such a view.
He he he.
E Rocc, Ol' Predictable. Salivatin' like a Pavlov's dog, at every chance to put down Christianity.
