cybrbeastNewton is a bad example. He was very religious.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Newton%27s_religious_views
theaceofclubzNewton was fanatically religious.
"By far the most important of these is the list Newton wrote out in 1662 of all the sins he could remember having committed, which he kept up-to-date for an uncertain but fairly short period thereafter (in the Fitzwilliam Notebook)."

Its mostly mundane stuff like "I baked a pie on Sunday" or "I ate an apple in the church"
HadouKen24says...Newton also wrote more about alchemy than about physics.
But Harris' main argument isn't affected by Newton's religiosity.
