Interesting criticisms.
I always find it interesting when people of a god bothering persuasion –in this case Christianity- assume that “outsiders” have no or little understanding of the core beliefs or the modern interpretation or application of those beliefs.
In reality, many atheists are very intimate with these beliefs indeed. Thats why in fact they are atheist.
While I agree the author of that article should have supported his claim about what Mr Bush may have said, its hardly the lynch pin of his argument. Those remarks have been widely reported and commented on after all, since 1999. In the name of concision, it may well have been overlooked. After all, fifteen seconds on google yielded these:

So, aside form the "who said what" thing, I am not sure you are offering any real decontruction of what he argues. You claim that this writer is wrong about Christianity in many ways. How so?
