This is a Robert Silverberg, from early in his career when he was a prolific author of pulp SF. This is about a young man home from the stars and I have to say the bit that caught my ear was "Natives on Deneb. They resisted our attempts to trade and we showed them," followed by a description of a brutal battle. I assume this was "trade" like the Shinmiyangyo was "diplomatic outreach."
I do have a question down below the cut.

"Curt Clark" is one of Donald E. Westlake's pen names. Aside from the theological speculations, there's nothing in this jolly tale of parental abuse that's hard to believe.
Wasn't there another story about returning spacemen and multiple robot duplicates of loved ones? Who wrote that?
