John von "nuke the Soviet goyim" Neumann was a manlet that NEVER learned

He invited a Roman Catholic priest, Father Anselm Strittmatter, O.S.B., to visit him for consultation.[13] Von Neumann reportedly said in explanation that Pascal had a point, referring to Pascal's Wager.[159][160][161] Father Strittmatter administered the last rites to him.[13]

"But Johnny had earlier said to his mother, 'There probably is a God. Many things are easier to explain if there is than if there isn't.' He also admitted jovially to Pascal's point: So long as there is the possibility of eternal damnation for nonbelievers it is more logical to be a believer at the end."

Father Strittmatter recalled that von Neumann did not receive much peace or comfort from it, as he still remained terrified of death.[163]

Not a biography, but check out "The Legacy of John Von Neumann: Volume 50 of Proceedings of Symposia in Pure Mathematics Series" by the American Mathematical Society
