But I find the present effort by people like Sullivan to demonize Christianity to be a bit much.

Chicken and egg. Sullivan didn't start it. Both sides have been gradually escalating for a while now.

Anything stronger than the Episcopal version is too religious for him

There's a line in every continuum where too much is too much. I think that "stronger" is off the mark re the way that line is defined. People can be as strongly Christian as they like and believe whatever they believe and not be Christianist. The line for "Christianist" is like the line in Islam--it's the intolerance, the imposition of one's religion on others, the absolutism, not the particular beliefs. Believing in a young earth doesn't make one a Christianist. Insisting on public school kids singing about the birth of Jesus does. You can be an Episcopalian and also a Christianist. Christianism of the Islamicism variety warrants demonization. Normal folks need to differentiate, not treat charges of Christiansim as attacks on Christianity.
