Because (and I'm not arguing the validity of the quote, just the message behind it) if that was written during a shake in faith, the whole "they're not allowed' thing kind of goes out the window. At that point the faith would have lapsed and therefore, the writer wouldn't have the same view of God.

No devout jew can mention the name of God, it comes from the Mosaic law. That is the reason why when Jesus said "I Am" , it caused a huge uproar in his time. He was not only saying the name of God, but he was claiming to be him.
Whoever wrote that must have not been a jew, could have been a gypsy, a catholic or a person of some other group or denomination.
The smartest jewish minds that experienced the concentration camps did not have their faith shaken, in fact quite the opposite (ie Elie Wiesel).
