Sorry but that video is complete bullshit.
It implies that non religious people cant have morals and yet disregards the BIG negatives to religion as if they are nothing serious. Alabama is in the western world too... treats women like 2nd grade citizens.. also lowest level in education.
I like how he completely ignores about the millions of people executed and murdered directly because of religion but claims the the murders on the other hand were directly because of rejection of faith.

A sin without volition is a slap at morality and an insolent contradiction in terms: that which is outside the possibility of choice is outside the province of morality. If man is evil by birth, he has no will, no power to change it; if he has no will, he can be neither good nor evil; a robot is amoral. To hold, as man’s sin, a fact not open to his choice is a mockery of morality.

Triple, he does site slavery as a particular evil, and we all know that many slave owners in the past, and present, held religious beliefs. But do you disagree with the basic premise that Western culture was based on that combination of those cultures / schools of thought? And I’m not asking you if you think Western Culture is good or positive.

who did Obama, Bush, Clinton, and Reagan run against in the NH primary during their incumbent years?
https://www.politico.com/story/2012/...op-line-071342
Fun Fact: It was an uncontested election.
so there were still only roughly ~60,000 votes in 2012. Trump doubled the turn-out...
There's tons of enthusiasm behind Trump despite what CNN tells you.

By comparison, President Barack Obama received 49,480 votes in the Democratic primary, or 81.1 percent of the vote.
so there were still only roughly ~60,000 votes in 2012. Trump doubled the turn-out...

So, the less is that nearly 50% of registered Republicans in NH don't wish to re-elect a sitting republican president?
That's highly unusual.

"You have crossovers in primaries, don't you? I hear a lot of Republicans tomorrow will vote for the weakest candidate possible of the Democrats," Trump told the crowd. "Does that make sense? My only problem is I'm trying to figure out who is their weakest candidate, I think they're all weak." - Trump
Trump touched on the topic again later in the rally, suggesting that the crowd choose whoever they thought was the weakest candidate.
"If you want to vote for a weak candidate tomorrow, go ahead and pick one," said Trump. "Pick the weakest one you think. I don't know who it is." - Trump
