Richard Dawkins recently explained that he self-identifies as a cultural christian. He doesn’t believe in Deus, but he enjoys many christian traditions, including carols and hymns. This particular article is written from a Christian perspective, which I do not personally agree with, but it correctly interprets that Dawkins’ cultural christianity seems to be a dogwhistle for whiteness. Many atheists like Dawkins are cultural christians, in ways that subtly reinforce white supremacist narratives.

    I think a christian publication is entirely within its rights to discuss the words of someone who describes themselves as a cultural christian.

    And I don’t really care if OP has an agenda or not, I’m answering the points you made on this post.
