If his religion affected his professional reputation to to him injecting it into his work, which reflected poorly on all others there? It's fair game.
So you consider having a sponsor "special treatment"?
It's a privilege to be an RA. It requires an SI sponsor. His died. Without a sponsor, he would not be renewed as an RA because RAs basically have to be re-sponsored every few years, and obviously nobody there wanted to put their reputation on the line to sponsor him. But one person did offer to sponsor him just to keep him from being a creationist martyr. That's special treatment.
Now he used the word supervisor and not sponsor, but since we all know that Sternberg was not an employee at SI, supervisor must mean sponsor.
RAs are supervised, mainly by their sponsors. His died, so sponsorship and supervision defaulted to the Chair.
The short of this exchange seems to be that you are as apologetic for these emails
The result of this exchange is although many people at the SI didn't like him, no adverse administrative action was taken against him due to his beliefs, or even due to his misbehavior at the Journal or for his mishandling of artifacts. Like a black female cripple in a government job, he was basically untouchable due to political considerations.
No it isn't. It's still against the law. And he didn't inject his religion into his work. He allowed the Meyer paper to be peer-reviewed and published. The poor reflection you mention was them(Eugenie, Rafa, etc.) looking into a mirror. They themselves started the vendetta. No one criticized them except those of their own ilk. Eugenie Scott stirred the pot.

Bull crap. He was not renewed as an RA as it was. They made him an RC. And you admit in the following quote the words "without a sponsor" are meaningless. And privilege it may be, but Sternberg was discriminated against, and if he had been an employee(another position that is a privelege not a right) he would have owned SI.

Not prejudiced very much are you?
