So what's next... do we start declaring whether these dead folks were straight or gay? How many partners they had? Hmm, haven't any "famous" Devil worshipers died around here yet?
While I agree with your basic premise that certain personal details are not necessarily relevant here, there are decedents whose faith or outspoken lack of it defined them in crucial ways. Based on Alex’s information, it seems to me that Ginsburg's main beef was with the 'faith establishment' and its increasing intrusion into daily life in his society. In contrast, Marek Edelman's horrific war experiences made him abjure God, and determined his outspoken stance on the responsibilities of Man, both individually and in the aggregate.
