People, especially the relatively powerless, like the idea of having power. Being a witch means you have power without having to work to attain it, and it's hard to prove you don't actually have any supernatural powers.
There are some reasonable arguments against "drag queen story time." [Drawing questionable connections between homosexuality and child sex abuse](https://blog.peterfrisman.com/2021/06/16/gays-and-child-molestation/) is not one of them.
I'm not claiming there definitely is no god, I'm just skeptical of one. And even if I did, would it really be all that extraordinary? Given that there is no concrete evidence of one whatsoever, only hearsay?
To answer his question: I trust my own reasoning processes and thoughts, at least to some extent, because they are what evolved over countless generations as resources to survive. And since all of my ancestors clearly survived long enough to reproduce, that serves as proof of the efficacy of those reasoning processes and thoughts.
The human brain is still far from perfect, however, and it is susceptible to misconceptions and brainwashing, as evidenced by its willingness to accept extraordinary claims not backed by extraordinary evidence. Claims such as, for example, the existence of an omnipotent, omniscient being that encompasses and permeates everything in the four dimensions and beyond it.
I tested this out on my Android smartphone (don't judge, this was the first time I've ever used the feature in question) and it gave an accurate answer, although for some reason Britannica.com was listed as the source rather than Wikipedia. Perhaps they changed things since this video was recorded (possibly as a response to it) or this guy's device simply didn't understand his accent.
I also asked it "How old was Muhammed's youngest bride?," to which it also provided an accurate answer. This would seem to cast doubts on any claims they're making a conscious effort to cover for other religions while criticizing Christianity.

The claim is falsifiable, as I've noted.

I'll need extraordinary evidence. That goes beyond baseless claims.
