The title of the piece was probably not well-advised.

How do you 'debunk' religious faith? Contradictions, historical inaccuracies, scientific rejoinders, rigorous philosophical examination of laws and commandments, etc. may perturb the faithful but are unlikely to cause them to set aside their most deeply held convictions.

The 'essay' is preaching to the choir. As it were. It's more or less as ideological as any religious dogma.
