Not so Christian after all.
He might be saying one thing about himself but his deeds speak otherwise. Maybe he is doing this false statements about atheists to appease so called watered down Christianity Christians because he does work for some Christian sites as a book reviewer and similar, so he has a market there.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
