I would say that he has a point that, for many Christians, Christianity is little more than a list of don’ts. This creates a bad mindset, imo, because one doesn’t really learn how to live when the reference is nothing more than what not to do.

I think teaching people what to do instead would lead to more success.

One way to look at raising children. You eventually go from "don't do that" to "you should do this." God did that with His children. He gave us a list of "Thou shalt nots" in our faith childhood and then led us into maturity with Christ.
