"We've had that here; I don't know how much you know about American history?" Henry is not really going to like, go into details about Salem if he can help it, and his knowledge is fairly fuzzy anyway, but he has some interesting views on the intersection of faith and virtually anything else in life. "Or--world history, really. Religion and power are a combination we seem to fall into repeatedly."
....after you died, really, Martel. This little thread of information has the useful effect of diluting what might actually be Henry's inclination to wander away into how he has much of his many issues because of the intersection of science and faith! Exactly how much should he consider it ethical to mess with, if human life is created by a divine force? These attitudes were certainly more prevalent in the Victorian era, but they have not gone away, and people are still willing to kill one another over them.
But never mind. Never mind. "...you'll forgive me if I'm skeptical of your nonchalance."
