So is his religious stance just a rehashing of Christian-Neoplatonism?

It's a cultural Christian atheist.

Bumping for discussion
Where's a good place to start in understanding his world view? Any particular lectures or writings?
I really want to get a copy of Maps of Meaning, but they're so fugging expensive.
Just go through the series I guess

Who gives a fuck whether he thinks there's a God? I watch his videos, but I've never even cared what his particular religious views are because it doesn't matter. What does matter is that he thinks religion has played a crucially important role in the prospering of Western civilisation for a couple of thousand years, and he wants you to understand this importance.
Literally, who gives a single fuck whether he thinks there's a God or not. I get the impression he's perhaps a bit agnostic on God existing. He just thinks Christianity has been vitally important to us, from a psychological as well as a societal perspective, for so long. And of course he would argue that even today, even if you're an atheist, a lot of your mental concepts are legacies of Christianity.
If you can't understand this position then you're too stupid to be watching his videos in the first place and you should just go watch some Christopher Hitchens garbage. That's probably more your level.
