At 2:21, he completely contradicts everything he just said by stating "I love the Church, I love the Bible, and yes, I believe in sin; but if Jesus came to your Church, would they actually let him in?" In this statement, he focuses his arguments towards attacking the corruption of the Church. Although his point is now partially clarified and has SOME relevance, it wasn't the original claim of the video, and it too stems from misunderstanding. As we have discussed in class, the physical Church does have corruption, the physical Church is composed of sinners, but that's okay. This doesn't mean that religion is bad, it simply speaks to our human nature as sinners and in our efforts to become holy.
Next he claims that God is good and Jesus is good, but religion is bad and is what God sought to denounce/get rid of. At this point, he isn't even trying to see what religion actually is. He's taking his own beliefs and idea of religion and claiming its bad, but he isn't seeing what religion actually is. Religion is defined as: The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, esp. a personal God or gods.
Therefore, he shows he doesn't know the true idea of what is faith and religion, which is the most prominent source of his Heresy.
