Regardless of what parts he was reading, if he's talking to God/praying so much and is developing some spirituality, his focus will be on HIS inventory/what he needs to do, and not on you and what he 'thinks' you should do.

I echo what has already been said. Forgiveness does NOT mean you approve of his past hurtful behaviors. Forgiveness is for you and to rid self of anger/resentment. Having a resentment is like drinking poison and then waiting for your enemy to die.

I forgave my ex-husband over the years, but that never meant I approved, nor did I go back to him. It was for me and my serenity. As long as I'm resentful, I still have one foot stuck in the past.
