Ay, I still am :)

You may have some problems with his ideas, since you're a Christian, but I personally feel that his writing shouldn't rub religious people the wrong way. If he states harsh opinions, it is only when the philosopher in question expresses cruel and unreasonable attitudes towards people; Russell is simply very sympathetic, and some of the most odious Christian theories scare him (say, Saint Augustin's beliefs regarding sins). He also expresses admiration for the religious philosophers he thinks are good people/logicians, and I honestly can see very little anti-religious bias in his work (if only we don't count the fact that he aspires to be very logical and is slightly nonplussed by the concept of unreasonable belief).

And yes, his sense of humour is one of my favourite parts of the History. "Aristotle seems to be a combination of Plato and common sense. It is, of course, very difficult to imagine: these two things are hardly compatible".
