 Clive Sinclair was an atheist and if you look at the build quality of the average Sinclair Research product you might become an atheist, too.

He also had a freakishly high IQ - which says a lot about what IQ tests measure - and was chair of UK Mensa for ages.
When working in Cambridge UK I got to hear a lot Clive Sinclair stories, most of them about how his obsessive penny-pinching managed to sabotage a lot of good ideas.
He did spend money from time to time - Chris Curry of Acorn Computers started worked for Clive Sinclair for years and ran for Parliaments as the National Front (facist) candidate in Cambridge with Clive's financial support.
