He was talking about theism, but regardless this is a “tu quoque” argument. Believing things without evidence or reason is bad whether they’re a theist or an atheist.
Edit: Wait I think I see what you meant now. You’re making a semantic argument and yeah, you’re right lol. Replace “atheist” with “skeptic” and it still works, though.
Atheist just means lack of belief in god though, doesn’t mean you don’t believe other things without evidence.
