He also pushes the narrative that a person of science should believe all religion to be a myth.
The same is true of many of the major doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church. The Virgin Birth, the bodily Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Resurrection of Jesus, the survival of our own souls after death: these are all claims of a clearly scientific nature. Either Jesus had a corporeal father or he didn't. This is not a question of "values" or "morals"; it is a question of sober fact. We may not have the evidence to answer it, but it is a scientific question, nevertheless. You may be sure that, if any evidence supporting the claim were discovered, the Vatican would not be reticent in promoting it.Either Mary's body decayed when she died, or it was physically removed from this planet to Heaven. The official Roman Catholic doctrine of Assumption, promulgated as recently as 1950, implies that Heaven has a physical location and exists in the domain of physical reality - how else could the physical body of a woman go there? I am not, here, saying that the doctrine of the Assumption of the Virgin is necessarily false (although of course I think it is). I am simply rebutting the claim that it is outside the domain of science. On the contrary, the Assumption of the Virgin is transparently a scientific theory. So is the theory that our souls survive bodily death, and so are all stories of angelic visitations, Marian manifestations, and miracles of all types.

...and Islam, public schools, the federal government, unions, the MSM and the DNC.
question
how is that statement a “rational” concept ?
The statement is saying there is no “reason” for our existence
That ultimately the universe is irrational in conception fundamentals saying there is no reason for our existence
he's reason to come to an end conclusion that there is no reason....it all starts with a serendipitous illogical event that just occurs for no reason....
you can't have it both ways
Atheism is the child of Marx, and the tool of the enemies of America.
