The video oversimplifies the Biblical God. The view that God is all-powerful and perfect is a Christian one, and originated in Greek philosophy rather than the Hebrew Bible. The idea that religion is primarily about belief is also Christian. Traditional Judaism and Islam are more religions of practice, requiring observance of certain customs but little in the way of theology. I'm not quarreling with what the narrator says about atheism, but his view of theism needs to be more informed.
