Some people don't need very much to believe. Other people don't require very much to disbelieve. This guy's an example of the latter.

Are you suggesting that belief in extraordinary claims is the default position?

What claim are you referring to as "extraordinary" ?

No. I'm stating that people will find reasons to believe (whether theism or atheism) what they want to believe. There are few claims more extraordinary than the claim that there can be no God. A relatively small number require a high level of stringency. Many more are content to accept almost anything that will appear to confirm what they have already decided they want to believe.
