The GLOW is faith based.  By definition if you don't have faith in the glow
you can't use it's powers.  Honestly though If you wanted to do this you
would either need to change the mechanics for it.  OR you could just say
that he has faith in science and the natural laws...

The down side to that Is every time he sees something that defys natural law
or science he has to make a faith check or suffer like a blessed from the
wierd west.  and lose a point of faith...

So guts checks and faith checks of hoky religions.  You pick.
