Hello, Ludo.
I'm afraid that I didn't see the show in question, so I am not likely to have an informed opinion on how these two gentlemen presented themselves. It is possible that Watson and Wilson have beliefs that can be non-trivially characterized as "religious", and it may be that atheism and the theory of evolution is an important part of their "religion". However, nothing in your post itself strikes me as religious sentiment.
Let us take the statements you wrote in bold:
quote:
You dont go on National TV In the United States and claim the Bible has been rewritten (majority of Americans are Christians, and many are Jews.), that Darwin was the most important person who ever lived, That the majority of true sceintists dont believe in a personal God, and that Books about Darwin are your Bible!
I see two statements of fact (which may or may not be accurate), a personal opinion about the accomplishments of a famous figure in history, and what is clearly a joke made in the context of a discussion about religious beliefs.
Perhaps it was how these two gentlemen presented themselves during the show; nothing in these statements themselves indicate to me any religious sentiment.
