Rudolph prefers Nietzsche to the Bible

Eric Rudolph: Christian Terrorist?
Eric Rudolph is certainly a terrorist. But did he inflict terror in the name of Jesus? Quoting from letters to his mother, this CNN story suggests that it is more likely that he is an atheist:
…In another he refers to people who send him money and books.
“Most of them have, of course, an agenda; mostly born-again Christians looking to save my soul. I suppose the assumption is made that because I’m in here I must be a ‘sinner’ in need of salvation, and they would be glad to sell me a ticket to heaven, hawking this salvation like peanuts at a ballgame,” he wrote.
“I do appreciate their charity, but I could really do without the condescension. They have been so nice I would hate to break it to them that I really prefer Nietzsche to the Bible.”
Doesn’t the media-pushed conventional wisdom of Eric Rudolph suggest that he is a “Christian” and that his “faith” inspired his heinous acts?
Why am I not surprised that this aspect of the Rudolph story hasn’t been covered by the “objective” MSM?
