This guy is dismantling a position nobody really holds.Today's rationalist position is best dicribed as scientific skepticism, we apportion our belief on the quality(and to a lesser extent quantity) of the evidence. Repeatable empirical evidence ranks near the top, personal anecdotes near the bottom. The skeptic says "show me your evidence, the better the evidence the more weight I will give your claim."

We do not search for anything as grand as THE TRUTH, we're content with mere truth.We try for as close to the TRUTH as possible but realize that sadly we'll never get there, c'est la vie.

The Non-theists have no basis within their own rational system: it fails to even account for itself. Non-theism lacks the epistemic rights to account for the Laws of Thought, and this fatal inconsistency undercuts itself.
Many non-theists deny the notion of objective truth, and yet have no meta-theory that can hold that notion up or sustain it.

yes, atheists try to create Rationality out of nothing, and fail horribly at this.
