If what he said on the podcast wasn't clear to you & it seems it wasn't. Everyone else seems to get it. Go for the long version.
I think your hostility will go if you do coz you've much more common ground than you think.

Helen, I have read much on the subject now and spoken to James, who is not the only author. It offers nothing new or unique.
-
And this contradicts what James said about many atheists already being posttheists how? You're arguing against claims not made.
-
What? Helen, in never said that.
-
Well, if James says the approach already exists but advocates more of us take it, why do you keep saying its not new?
-
He's saying that's what post-theism is. He's simply taking his favorite tactics already in use and calling those a new name.
-
Pretty much, yes, because those are the positive tactics of a mindset which refuses to take religion on its own terms.
-
Is that bad? Reviewing different atheist approaches to religion & advocating the positive ones as the way forward?
-
In EIWAG, you see the reasoning for arguing these approaches to be best which are based in moral & religious psychology.
