Bill Maher seems aggressively unfunny to me, but the gist of the video is that it’s a open letter to Chappell Roan (who is pro-Palestine), saying that Israelis aren’t colonisers, because the Bible mentions that they built a temple in that area before others in Middle-East settled there. It seems like a questionable claim to me, and there are plenty of replies to the video disagreeing with him.
I mean, the Bible also mentions exactly how they drove out and murdered the Canaanites that were living there before them. Sounds like a coloniser to me - not that they were special for doing that, in their day.
This affirm previous suspicions that the most hardcore atheists were simply Islamophobes. Coincidentally they are also the staunchest deniers of the genocide in Gaza.
I have no idea what they are trying to say.

The bible also says that you’re supposed to murder noncombatants during war. I think we should discount the old testament as a guide of any kind
The New Atheist movement led by figures such as Richard Dawkins have recently changed their mind from “all religions bad” to “Islam bad”.

Hardcore atheist here. All religions are equally fictional, and I’m not an Islamophobe.
You can be an atheist without being in the New Atheism movement.
