What is the meaning of this? Is it meant to sound like something positive?

What is it that is SO awful? His honest thoughts? That would be almost like saying people don't have a right to speak against what they think are false religions. Is it ok to speak against false religions? If it is, then it is okay to speak against ANY religion because there is ALWAYS going to...

Envy and cowardice being on the same continuum? They just seem like such different vices to me.

If nothing else, when we think about the people and institutions that run science, and the people and institutions that run organized religion, or the people and institutions that run anything else - politics, news, arts and entertainment, etc... the obvious question emerges (was always there...

Aesthetics is personal and cultural, yes, supernatural is only a fraud if someone declares that they for sure have access to the supernatural or that they for sure have supernatural information. Honest Speculation about the possibility of the supernatural is not inherently fraudulent.

OR maybe what you are looking for are the contemporary scholars who go against the grain and are considered "mythcists" is that what you mean? Here's a link with some articles that talk about such ideas. https://historyforatheists.com/jesus-mythicism/ However, only having skimmed the site, I do...
