Perhaps he is an unknowing follower of early Christianity that Arius defended against attacks by Athanasius, that ended up being declared a heresy in 379 upon The Emperor Theodosius’s Edict of 380.

Whose view do you believe was/is more scripturally accurate? Arius, or Athanasius?

I accept both of them as two interpretations, one earlier, one later. The eradication of one interpretation in the late is similar, in some aspects to the Protestant Reformation, or if the Eastern Orthodox churches had been proclaimed to be Heretical by Rome at sometime in the past.
