Maybe it was editorialized into the article? It doesn't seem to be a quote from Fallon himself, but more an outlook by the article's author (Barbara Bradley Hagerty). A Google search of her finds some very negative detractors: http://atheism.about.com/b/2004/05/21/outing-barbara-bradley-hagerty.htm http://atheism.about.com/b/2004/05/21/outing-barbara-bradley... Though it's mostly ad-hominem, it does quote a verifiable lapse of journalistic ethic: "a report on the Christian Science Church, in which she did not disclose that she was herself a former member of the Church"
