The article is focused on evangelical Protestantism. The one reference to Protestantism in general is about the use of the Bible as a simple life manual. Protestants exchanged reverence for the church hierarchy with reverence for the Bible.

Do you really think I'm ignorant of the fact that there are conservative and liberal Protestants? No, I ignore the latter because they're not relevant to an article on Gilson and because they're no threat to atheism or to philosophical naturalism, since their religion is on a slippery slope that leads them to secularism.

Rabbinic Judaism is comparable to liberal Christianity in that respect: both are forces for secularization since they don't take their creeds so literally and they support intellectualism, philosophy, and a historical-critical approach to Bible studies.

What's your standpoint? Liberal Christianity, Judaism or something else? What specifically do you think I've missed that would be relevant to this discussion of evangelical Christianity?
