Same here, Alex. I've never seen a large burning effigy on the side of the road, and I've lived all sorts of places in America. Usually they are just little crosses no more than 1-2 feet tall that have some flowers. I can't imagine this was anything different (although that is complete conjecture.) I can imagine, however, (more conjecture, I didn't watch the video) that this guy may be a grieving family member or friend, and having some group of atheists start litigation over the memorial of his loved one might spark some rage that he generalized. Not excusing his rant, just contextualizing it (with pure conjecture).
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
