“the kind of secular spirituality and morality which Sam Harris deems desirable could only be born within the interpretive structure, set of axioms, collective practices and poetic enactments called religion.”

If you left the last words out, this would be true. The problem with Jordan and the author of this article is this leap that axioms, interpretive structure, and collective practices only derive from religion. They tend to implicitly make the claim that interpretive structure=religion, when one encompasses the other and much more.
