The article basically says that you have to read the Bible to understand why you think the way you do about anything because you live in a country with a history of having a majority-Christian population. I disagree. Most people's ethical frameworks are very simple and are usually just least-harm principles with a little window dressing. And insofar as they aren't, they are usually not particularly compatible with secular society. For my part I don't see the need to give special attention to a particular ethical text just because so many other people have for so long.

I think you're diluting their content a bit, but I largely agree. Their thesis read (to me) like they're insisting that the Bible is relevant because it framed a lot of the choices we made in the past: that much is true, and fairly relevant. But whether or not the parables of the Bible have relevance to modern society is a completely different discussion, and one that I feel like this article is (perhaps unfairly) baiting people into.

It's definitely a secular fluff-piece, but I don't think the thesis is that outrageous.
