That guy seems to be saying, "I suddenly decided to believe in God and Christianity". Well belief isn't a choice, so he's just professing belief. He is saying there is no reason for his conversion. I highly doubt that, he is at least taking a pragmatic approach by joining a certain cult, presumably for some gain. If he actually believes now, there is a reason. If he doesn't, then this is just bluster. Actually this all sounds a bit like a very weak Pascal's wager.

And it appears he thinks God and Yahweh are interchangeable.

What the hell does "committed to God" mean? Committed to pretending/assuming God exists?

Apologies if I missed something important.
