It's good to keep what is good.
We do know what is good and right.
It's to be determined by one's priest.
I feel you are intentionally misunderstanding the point.

I'm pretty sure he prayed over the Orion that is being flown on Artemis II as well. The Orion team was just as religious, if not more religious, than we were.
We are "the science" and we're glad Astronaut Glover is as faithful as us.
