Why do you confuse "theism" and "religion"? There are major world religions that are not at all theistic, like Buddhism. It's unrealistic to lump them together, it just makes you look ... silly.
I believe he is including all religions in this category, not just theist religions.
For example, what can Buddhism tell us about reality any more than Christianity? They share the same fundamental problem: they aren't real.
Besides, Buddhists tend to worship Buddha in lieu of a God, anyway, so even that part they couldn't get right.
