I'm sure he was an embarrassment, Had, to many Atheists who truly believe they have a legitimate gripe against religion and see it as the cause of all wars. Religion isn't the only cause of war even though it seems so today with all the conflicts going on in the Middle East.

"From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?  Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.  Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.  Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God."
~ James 4:1-4

God bless you

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
~ Albert Einstein
