It'a an interesting article. I think he is commenting on, and arguing against, what I would describle as religion without faith, a modern phenomenon of "watering down" the bits of christianity that depend on faith and cannot be explained on any other terms. I think he is right - what is a religion if its adherents have no faith and brush the more challenging aspects to one side? Without the resurrection, in my opinion, there seems little more to christianity than a vague spiritual belief in a supreme being. I can understand non-belief (well I would) but not a pick-and-mix belief system.
