No, not necessarily an idiot. Plenty of atheists who are idiots just as there are theist. Just brainwashed by his religion to only believe what he is told, not what he can observe.
This is the real reason why organized religion should be eradicated for the betterment of the human race. Not because they believe in an almighty creator. Many agnostics are prepared to admit the possibility. Its because the organized religions brainwash their followers into believing what they are told even if this conflicts with known facts.
As for his comments about young atheists and UFOs/aliens... first off a bit presumptuous about the OPs age unless it is posted, but I am only a year shy of 40, so not exactly a spring chicken anymore, and i'm certain there must be life elsewhere in the universe, and I would go so far as to say its pretty certain that more than one of these life forms have achieved true sentience.
Sure, i have this belief without any solid evidence, but at least it is based on what we do know about the universe and not unlikely, probability alone suggests it is likely. God(s) on the other hand have very little probability based on what we know of the universe. Gods have never manifested themselves in a way to reliable witnesses or caused anything to occur that cannot be explained as either a natural event or at least have a theoretical scientific basis, even if we do not yet understand the basis for that event (eg: creation of the universe). Saying "God did it" is just a lazy cop out with no proof.
A finite number of monkeys with a finite number of typewriters and a finite amount of time could eventually reproduce 4chan.
