Newton was in fact an Arian. He denied the divinity of Christ.

Please HayekRocks: Give me a source for that?

Gladly, dear lady. The view he was Arian is not completely uncontroversial, but is held by the large majority of Newtonian scholars. Interestingly, much of the evidence for this was discovered by John Maynard Keynes, the economist, who acquired and studied Newton's private papers. The first link is the lecture Keynes prepared on Newton's tercentenary, one of the most remarkable lectures never given.

I'd like to know why so many Christians think it's okay for their fellows to engage in bad behavior without admonishing...
