Agree 95% with the author.  His one point is a bit off base: "When a survey finds more than half of academics in some fields would discriminate against a job seeker who they learned was an evangelical, that feels to me like bigotry."

I would be reluctant to hire an evangelical in an academic setting as well.  Typically their beliefs hold positions such as that the earth is only thousands of years old, today's humans are not the product of evolution, that they're charged with proselytizing their religion to others, etc.  Universities need to have a foundation built on rational thinking.
