Psalm 137:9

[downbeatplumb]

Well there was a time when people thought that that there were dog headed people living in india. That was their opinion based on rumours by people who had allegedly "witnessed" these imaginary beings, but as we know witness testimony is notoriously unreliable and what happened was that people actually went to india and found that there were in fact no dog headed people there, so their opinion changed to no longer believing in dog heads. It was an opinion that had changed due to new information.

People used to think that radiation was good for you when it was first discovered because energy=good for you and they sold irradiated water and food to give you vitality. That was their "opinion" but it changed when it was discovered that it was immensely bad for you.

I could go on if you like I have like a hundred examples of this.

Ok and Atheists believe that everything around us, morality, the laws of nature, the universe, life can be explained naturally even though that has never been observed.

Ok none of what you said is Christianity??

Ok then there was a time when people believed in what was written in the bible. They believed in the creation myths in genesis for example until these explanations were overturned by better explanations evolution the big bang etc, they believed in the new testament that there was a messianic person called jesus. But lets examine the time of Christ. Messianic figures were everywhere. Ten a penny, many of them well documented, (not the jesus of the new testament interestingly which is supported by some forgeries and vague references years later).    

I could go on for ages recounting the unreliability of the bible and the new testament specifically.
