We're there to perform a mission... there are more important things to worry about. My guess is he was quick to enforce his belief whenever/if ever the notion of "God" came up.
When I'm at the dinner table and my family or friends family or friends decide to pray, I don't refuse bitterly, I lower my head out of respect for them. He may have made a big fuss about prayer at dinner or gotten into one too many heated religious debates that resulted in him being treated like a militant atheist. But really, who knows. I've been treated like (*)(*)(*)(*) for not believing when I was being pleasant as can be so you never know. but generally if you're respectful, so are those with opposing views.
