i don’t have access to that person’s thoughts, but the statement looks clear to me. there’s always more context, you could grind it down to the sub-atomic if you want.

this is the position you were angling for, so you could have said that. I don’t disagree with the first part exactly, but religion is not what I would choose as a stand-in. It’s more like a substitute for science and arts education, including basic philosophy.
I wasn’t angling for any religious position. I just think it’s unfair to take somebody’s comment out of context, slap a zinger on it, and then make a social media post about how you got’em.
