Christopher Hitchens on Unitarians

I ran across this today--a comment by atheist Christopher Hitchens to a Unitarian minister:

"I would say that if you don’t believe that Jesus of Nazareth was the Christ and Messiah, and that he rose again from the dead and by his sacrifice our sins are forgiven, you’re really not in any meaningful sense a Christian."

How does this relate to 1 Corinthians 2:14?
