Please let me know if you would say something in this situation.
My best friend has this guy who works for him, and they are both very religious. My friend knows that I am an atheist and he respects my choice.
That worker, friend of his was passing out cigars, and praising god, and celebrating the news that he just received. His wife just told him that he is going to be a father, and that she is approximately three months pregnant. He got the news after the wife spoke with his pastor, and the pastor told him that it was god's will that the wife is pregnant with his child. My friend looked at me and grabbed me, and basically dragged me out of the room and into the kitchen, and told me not to say one word.
What was going through my mind was that this guy is such an idiot. Religion has turned him into a dumb ass. Now here is the rest of the story.
This guy lives in Florida and works very hard to support his family. He sends his paycheck home to his wife in Brazil to support her and his two kids and extended family. He travels to Brazil once or twice a year to visit his family. The last time he went to Brazil to visit with his wife was in December 2018. We are now in August 2019, and the last time he had physical contact with his wife was almost eight months ago. She is now three months pregnant. I know this guy and he is a good person. His pastor convinced him that the child is his and it is a miracle. She is only three months pregnant.
What would you do? Would you say something or just keep quiet?

If the guy was your best friend I would say something. Other than that leave it alone.

That guy is a sucker. If you speak to him about this he won't listen. Some day he may stand face-to-face with reality, but it will take more than your influence.

If you choose to speak to him, at least you may inoculate yourself from years of his bullshit.

I would keep my mouth shut. It's between him and his wife and none of your friends business. He knows the score, but has decided to accept the kid as his.

The will probably come out looking like Father Guido Sarducci
