Dick, I don't think it was a "thinly-veiled attempt" to
bring religion in.  Although it is not a big part of my
life, it is with some of my friends (*note* I didn't say what
religion! no jumping to conclusions, now!), and it is VERY
hard to separate it entirely from any personal discussion.
Chuq (is that his *real* name?) is right: it seems to have
done Jeff a lot of good.  If his beliefs are intertwined with
his other opinions (gee, it makes sense, if you think about it),
then I don't see how an aside could hurt anyone.  

I think anyone who has as paranoid a reaction as I've seen
on this net is simply not very sure of his own beliefs.
I'm not afraid I'm going to be converted because someone
mentions Jesus Christ and I see it on my screen.  (Don't you
have a mental 'n' key?)

Other than that, some people DO feel guilty, and need to get
rid of it before they go into a relationship.  How they do
it is their own business.
