Not sure how atheism would be irrational when there are so many false gods, seems like reasonable doubt to me.
I don't think irrational is to be confused with unreasonable. Reasonable people can obviously hold a lot of different beliefs. I personally think that atheism is a quite reasonable position. I think the interview subject in this piece means it's irrational in the strict meaning of the term. That is, it doesn't follow logically from the premises. In the end, it's a silly thing to argue anyway. I just thought the guy had some interesting things to say about the nature of mind, which is an infinitely more interesting debate.
