Yes you’re right and I hesitated putting that in there, but in the article itself, it’s written in such a way that I found confusing. Especially when the rest of the text doesn’t seem very familiar with the sociology / philosophy of religion.

Probably an unnecessary quibble to have, and I shouldn’t have included it.

I believe it's short for "(in his written works) X argues...". Past tense would indicate that there was a change in his views at some point.

Quibbling is what we humans do. It is both necessary and helpful for fleshing out all kinds of subjects. And I won't mention how fun it is to say. :)
