A good point. The author in fact fails to mention just how integral religion has been for winning the vast majority of the liberal victories he mentions. The dismissal of religion generally by the Left is a mistake that needs rectification.
Come to think of it, I suspect that Iran could halt a lot of shipping just by presenting a credible threat of striking any of them without actually doing so. They don't have to so much as scratch the paint as long as the threat makes the ships uninsurable.
