You an still be literal about religion and 'modern'. The problem is that the feel of his article is an either or. Your either a modern, rational, logical person or you're a religious literalist.

I can believe in the literal existance of those and more and still be modern. I think Reich has to modify the tone of his article to not feel so either/or.
