When I read the headline, my first thought was: "wow, that's what I've been saying all this time," followed by: "but this can't be real!"
But I agree, satire or not, there is some truth to it. Though I would probably expand it by including other factors of arrogance. Putting yourself above others based on your faith is not that different from basing it on your culture, nation, traditions, genetic make-up, sex, or even your education, your intelligence, your "level of moral understanding", ... and yes, even on such things as your (supposed) open-mindedness, social / environmental consciousness, your courage to stand up for other people, or issues that you consider important. So while religions are an old way of packaging one's arrogance into a set of values (which on their own may be highly valuable), it is not uncommon to wrap it into all kinds of new covers, ranging from veganism to militant anti-religionism... the later of which I may have fallen into.

Even I was quite happy when I read it but sadly it wasn't real.
But you make some great points there.
