I'm not sure I believe in this angry young man.

While I may question if this particular "angry young man" is real, I have no doubt there are some out there that take their atheism as a matter of faith because Dawkins (or some other prominent atheist) says so. There are stupid people everywhere.

There certainly are and you certainly can be atheist for stupid reasons. But I have a hard time believing in this confrontation. I imagine the disillusioned young man going home with his tail between his legs.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
