Not gonna read all that dribble. Did she say what denomination? 

JW or LDS is probably to much to hope for.
I skimmed over it a bit. She is an idiot. She reminds us of the fact that atheists arent smarter than theists. One can be an atheist for completely wrong reasons. One can have unreasonable and fallacious reasoning, and be an atheist. The same reasoning can lead someone back to theism. Looks like this is what she has done.
She "chooses to believe" (as if that was really possible) in a christian god, because of...perceived benefits to humanity. Her professed belief has nothing to do with the actual existence of a god and/or her being convinced of this existence.

Quote:The only credible answer, I believe, lies in our desire to uphold the legacy of the Judeo-Christian tradition.

Quote:But I have recognised, in my own long journey through a wilderness of fear and self-doubt, that there is a better way to manage the challenges of existence than either Islam or unbelief had to offer.
She said she did become a christian, because the "judeo christian tradition" is so beneficial to humanity. Nothing about actual evidence for the actual existence of a god. I guess she can be described as an "utilitarian", correct?

Quote:Atheism failed to answer a simple question: what is the meaning and purpose of life?

Quote:And we can’t counter Islamism with purely secular tools. To win the hearts and minds of Muslims here in the West, we have to offer them something more than videos on TikTok.
