Thought he just didn't believe in the trinity, he was apparently very religious.

I'm afraid I don't understand the gravity of it all...

Atheists, Christians, other Religions, it matters not. Christmas is a time to integrate.
For fluxions sake!

One of my lecturers hated him for that and took every opportunity to remind us.

He was also not a very nice person, from what I have read. e.g. his vendetta against Hooke, arguments with Liebniz etc
Perhaps a Grumpy Newtonmas to us all then?

Yup - I am grumpy enough about the weather, the commercialism, the crowds in the supermarket when I just wanted to do my weekly shop etc.
May as well be a grumpy old git about everything!

As it turns out, nor did Newton.

I suppose in terms of who to celebrate tomorrow, Jesus was a nicer bloke, although also an alchemist of course.

Agreed, but some of his followers have done nastier things!
(And according to the stories, a more successful alchemist than Newton!!)
