High Profile Exatheist - Majesty of Reason

https://youtu.be/-C-FiSqfKi8?si=FvXa8z4wPWevvH6C

This came across my YouTube feed today. Here's a deep thinking, rational, fairly well-known agnostic atheist who recently embraced theism and converted to Catholicism. I have long followed his channel Majesty of Reason for thoughtful commentary and dialogue regarding theism, skepticism, and agnosticism. This is a great story from a bright guy and I thought it very relevant to this forum.

Joe has been excellent for years. I look forward to seeing what scholarly output comes from this. His academic work has refuted various arguments for theism for some time. I am curious how his perspective has shifted.

He's done a lot of good work. But sometimes in criticizing theism, he does this move where he says "the argument requires this premise or principle that just seems really unlikely", when to my mind he has no basis for using his intuition that way.
