The videos are really well done, but he's confused about some things. For example, the way he thinks about beliefs is very strange, and smacks of the silly logic-chopping of "hard" vs "soft" atheism - "I believe there are no gods" vs "I do not believe there are gods."
An LWer would just ask him to assign a rough epistemic probability to the proposition "one or more (ontologically distinct) gods exist," and that would be the end of the whole sophistic conversation.
