The religiosity is what's silly, and what's mostly pointed out in my statement you quoted.
The other portion of it, my implying Google and Bing are fine, each of them in their own right, is not in the argument of what some interpret as what Verizon is doing as an ulterior motive by setting up some devices with Bing rather than Google as their default search engine.
They're doing a lot less with Bing, at this point, than they and other carriers and manufacturers have done with Google.
