As myself and many other atheists will tell you, we all came from ridiculous Christian and catholic households and had to read the Bible and get the gospel teachings constantly. So most atheists know the Bible better than believers.
I’ve even gone a step further and look at other religions and even the gnostic texts. So I mean it when I say that literally none of Nick’s beliefs align with any denomination of Christianity that I’m aware of. He’s straight up clown world.
The most liberal understanding is, according to early Gnosticism, repenting and sacrificing was not something god wants, you’re supposed to know the teachings and in knowing the teachings you can get to heaven. But that’s leaving out everything else it says about living your life righteously, so even then it doesn’t fit that already antiquated world view.
I’ve also noticed that he frequently misunderstands the few Bible stories he has spoken about. I remember like a year or two ago he talked about Job and how it just means “shit happens and you deal with it.” Which is a shockingly cynical way to miss the point that would even make the South Park version blush.
My honest feeling is that Nick is an atheist in denial. The most common Christian attack towards atheists is that we are all degenerates because nothing holds us accountable. That’s how Nick lives his life
