Or maybe God is using the person talking "nonsense" to test others' faith, as he constantly does in the Bible. While I don't agree with him overall, he does have a good point. You can find scripture to back up just about any subjective reasoning (obviously nothing supporting outright evil). You can use the Bible to say he's a heathen and so on and also argue that God is using him with or without him knowing to test someone's faith. God used evil entities to test the faith of man countless times.

No, you really can't. It might appear so superficially, but subjectivity on any important matter falls away pretty quickly upon any real study.

And that "God is using him to test people's faith" is a weasel argument. First of all, that's never how God tests faith in the Bible.

And secondly, it's non falsifiable. You have absolutely no reason to believe that it would be the case here. Between your assumption and mine, Occam's razor would support my view that he picked up a few r/Atheism talking points and every Christian he's employed them upon until now has been too polite to call him on his shite.
