I am a First Gen'er myself. I have encountered a few people that claim they were "atheist" and re-converted for various reasons... but upon further examination, usually they were driven away from God by hatred of a loss, or in another case a Brahman Hindu that claimed atheism until her discovery of Islam.
To re-convert all you need is a weak minded atheist and a really clever rationalization for Jesus.
