I agree with the premise of the article, but I believe the author has a fundamental mis-understanding of what progressivism and conservatism are. The original (and I believe correct) definitions are:
viewed in this light, it is easy to see that progressives are constantly fighting for change, and are undeterred by defeats or by the fact that their platform has changed drastically over the years (and is still evolving). It is also easy to see why conservatives don't "fight", or accept the small wins without pushing for much bigger and bolder ideas/plans/policies.
The Christian world-view is very conservative, in that God is un-changing, and there is an absolute definition of right and wrong. The non-Christian world-view is very progressive, in that there is no God, and humans are the deciders of what is right and wrong (which can change daily/hourly).

progressivism = desiring constant change
conservatism = desiring little/slow/no change
