I find it hard to believe that he would have much respect for the attitude of "eh, that's just what people are like, why bother?"

...Subtlety doesn't go over well on the internet...
It's fairly easy to be a believer. All you need to do is accept Jesus as your personal lord and savior, read the Bible and act as Jesus would act. I just thought that, you know, since people want to make generalizations of all Christians that I'd, you know, act the part
Anyway, you're trying to attribute a negative trait to a specific religion, which is just a cop out. All humans are born with a very distinct set of traits, some of which manifest themselves more so in one person than another. Regardless, people strive to be proven right. Otherwise, we wouldn't argue and debate.
