He is catholic, which honestly given his content I find strange.. I've never understood how people can maintain their religions in such a field.
I'm not sure how religious he is, but it must be very to maintain it after all of his research and education.
The Catholic Church has been a lot more open to science than other flavors of Christianity. Early biology sciences had plenty of contribution from catholic scientists and the church is by and large cool with evolution. They even teach it in catholic school.
similarly to Zack Nelson from jerryrigseverything, who’s Mormon, that’s not stopping him from making cool tech related content, anyway, I’m (as a non practicing European Catholic) wondering where you got your views on Catholicism, are they different in US? you have a few more Christianity denominations in US i’d call more conservative and anti science, than Catholicism, like Pentacostals, JWs, said Mormons, Baptists, hell, even looking at your politics whole protestant branch related to Republicans seem anti-science
i think majority wouldn't dare to show their personal take on eternal-life in public, being afraid to receive bad comments. So, kudo's to him to do so here and there, in the face of being bullied. personally, i think how he does it is appropriate and not over the top.
Regarding how serious he's about it; He actually quoted Galatians 5:22-23, at 11:20 with a passion. i.m.o., he isn't "being religious" but he makes it practical.
