The bigger question is what does this have to do with atheism? If his point is that we can't disprove God because we don't know her then he is partially right because there are and will be invented many gods. But when it comes to Allah then that God is disproved because, among other things, heaven is not separated in spheres where you can arrive on a flying donkey and walk around; there are no jinns, Noah's flood couldn't have happened, Adam didn't exist, and so on.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
