Perhaps, you don't know that his use of the word 'parochial' is not religious in this context. He means 'very limited or narrow in scope or outlook; provincial; or local and not national.

I don't think anyone has a problem with God. But the nutcases who worship organized religeon are certainly a problem.

Parochial: Narrowly restricted in scope or outlook; provincial: parochial attitudes

Contrast with national.
