How would you describe the tone in the second section of "Down at the Cross"? How has the author's perspective changed?

This second part of "Down at the Cross" is defined by a sense of reluctant ambivalence in the writing. It seems as though the author wants to believe in the values and sense of community at the heart of the Nation of Islam, and on some level seems to agree with, and take a degree of pleasure in, both. At the same time, however, he is evidently quite aware of the similarities between the Nation of Islam and Christianity.
