Defeating an atheist, irrespective of the rapidity of the conquest, would seem a hollow triumph in that the task actually before them is defeating atheism.
Just as my atheism is not tied to the beliefs of any particular scientific genius, it also is not tied to the outcome of a joust between single combat warriors.

What complete rubbish! He needs 2 min. to prove there is a God and then draws a circle and uses the fallacious argument from ignorance as his proof.
He does not understand that you can be an agnostic atheist since atheism in this case is just a belief that God does not exist based upon lack of convincing evidence - not that we know with certainty that God does not exist. The only thing he would be defeating are those atheists who say they know God does not exist and who also say that they only know a small amount of that which can be known - which is a very small % of atheists. But even this assumes that God can be known and that the God in question is some generalized entity and not some specific God like the Christian God whom some atheist say they know does not exist for logical reasons.
It in no way proves God's existence nor defeats atheism. So he failed miserably on both fronts. Complete moron! In fact I do not know any atheists who say that they know that God in general does not exist.
Then there is this possibility that I have not vetted:
Turns out this whole story is a lie. People researched it. There is only one college in Cambridge and one Atheist group at the college and neither had ever heard of him or held a debate. the Church YouTube channel quickly took this video down but not before people copied it to share his shame forever.

Based on his argument he should believe in the FSM.

How to defeat the "How to Defeat an Atheist in 2 Minutes" BS!
It's similar to the way I think. I would look at an atheist human being who thinks he understands the universe, in the same way I would look at my pet rabbit. Two mammals.
My guess is that the rabbit is not as smart as he thinks he is. If he has any ideas about how the universe works, I'm guessing that a lot of Mr Bunny's ideas are probably way off.
The same with the atheist human.
There is something to be said for humility.

Surely you can apply that to theists. An atheist who says he knows God does not exists is rare - a theist whose says he knows God exists is not. It's theists that need some humility. The amount of arrogance that is associated with such extraordinary claims is mind boggling.

Of course. But to humbly accept an ancient religious system is not arrogance. You could criticize it in a lot of ways but it's definitely not arrogance.
But the only way to really assess a person is to observe what they do. Their words and thoughts really don't mean a lot.
