Reich makes the mistake even most Christians make, thinking of a dualism "between those who believe in science, reason, and logic and those who believe that truth is revealed through Scripture and religious dogma."
We have historical, eyewitness, independent sources internally and externally validating the truth claims of Christianity. It's easy, for anyone willing to study, to objectively find the errors in false claims, false religions.
But Christianity's claims have never been disproven. Jesus really rose, He really is God, therefore what He says is true. Being God, what He has to say about how to deal with people should be accurate, eh?! Precisely because Christianity is not just "faith", but "faith founded on facts", it provides a great way for dealing with people individually and governmentally.
Christianity teaches that BOTH now and the future are important. It is a false dichotomy Reich makes between those who value the here and now, vs those who hold the future life as more important. God is always to be served. And, we are always to love our neighbor. It's not either/or, but BOTH!
