Well...he's an intellectual, but a few more examples would have been nice. The only one I caught was the changing form of the physical act of listening to the khutba as a defining feature of religion as a way of life, his point being (I think) that now the physical act of listening to a preacher has been harnessed and modified with 'unpredictable' results by people agitating for social change.

"Secular Christianity" is an oxymoron. Richard Niebuhr described the social gospel as follows: "A God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross."
