No, there was every reason to ask him the question, because he is his country’s science minister, and has zeroed out its budget for bioscience genome research. The question doesn’t even fucking MENTION either religion or Christianity; only his answer mentions them.

It’s a big difference, and enough to adopt a wait and see attitude.
