I imagine he was right in his time. But in Newton's time it was literally illegal to be a professing atheist in England. You would be hanged for blasphemy. (Newton also would have been charged with blasphemy if he had publicly professed his Unitarian views). And demographically speaking, Newton probably would have been an atheist if he had lived today, since most physicists now are atheists.
Years of indoctrination can control the thoughts of even the greatest minds, they cannot escape the influence of their environment
Ancient savants defending religions comes down to them being raised and peer pressured into it beforehand.
Newton would be an atheist if he was born in a secular household.
Yet Newton professed nontrinitarian "Christianity", which is basically atheism with extra steps.
It was difficult to argue for atheism before modern geology and genetics and evolution. Most of the time atheism was just an ad hominem and they weren't really atheists, but some people were against religion for social or philosophical reasons. It's why pantheism, deism and Unitarianism became popular, they didn't like conventional religion but still felt they needed a God to explain existence.
Atheism is declining worldwide.
Christianity is growing worldwide.
Also, atheists kill themselves en masse. They're pathetic cucks who seek oblivion because they feel worthless.

atheists have such a persecution complex
what a bunch of babies
Yeah that was rank hypocrisy on Newton's part. Someone who has to hide his beliefs because he has personally speculated beyond and contrary to the legal orthodoxy has no room suggesting that atheism must be a minority position because it is "senseless and odious"

Exactly. If Newton was born today he would have been brainwashed into secularism and atheism, because smart people are succeptible to such soft disciplinary measures.

The problem with abrahamics is their false god clause prevents them from engaging in philosophy of other regions, if they did they would know that it's the same nonsense everywhere.

Newton was a practicing alchemist. Physics and calculus were tools he invented to further his research into alchemy.
