Converting Atheists with Guilt

[abaris]

Does anyone know of a person or even a story of a person who has been "guilt tripped" into any religion by a follower, and them sticking to that religion

I guess it rather happens to make people stay. When I was a child, being brought up as a Catholic, the priests guilt tripped us on any given occasion. If you do this or that, you're going to hell. The most revolting instance I remember, was one of these guys telling us kids, god would take what's most dear to us, if we sin. So, kind of like a Mafia boss threatening the family, if you don't show proper respect.

I can't imagine an atheist being guilt tripped into religion. If you don't believe in possible consequences, you won't feel guilt.
