Good news, but I think he makes a mistake in choosing a theological term for the title of the chair. I think it would not only be more appropriate but be better to use a secular term for a secular position. Humanist, Freethinker, Skeptic or Non-believer would have demonstrated no need for the language of religious faith instead of falling back into it.
