Well you literally said that the article is 'less "secular humanist" and more "religious Conservative pearl-clutching,"' Perhaps that's not strictly branding the author as a religious conservative, but I might go so far as to say that your comment is less "merely raising a point" and more "making baseless assumptions and accusations" I will refrain from smugly assigning a star-based rating

I said seems, not was. Reading it as appearing in a similar way to the "religious Conservative pearl-clutching" rhetoric is drawing a similarity, not making an absolute declaration. It's neither assuming nor accusing when there's empirical evidence to draw the similarity, and no formal accusation was made.

Try sticking to facts, not assumptions and hypocrisy.

For the sake of peace, we probably should end this argument because it’s going nowhere…but I’ll end it saying that you’re truly a reflection of what you criticize :)
