Newton lived in a theocracy where you couldn't move in the sort of 
circles necessary to make a difference in society unless you were 
a practicing member of the Anglican Church at least affected a a 
devout belief in the Christian God. Study the man though, and you 
will find that he was no religious fanatic.

	Actually Mike, Newton was a religious fanatic, yet dispite this he made 
great strides in science. Heck even his science was to better understand the mind 
of G*d... He even predicted the end of the world in a letter released earlier 
this year. We tend to gloss over most of his history and study his work in 
science but he was as religious as anyone who lived in that time period if not 
more so since he wrote a large number of books on religious themes. More so then 
he did on science.
