To those who were once believers and are now atheists, some advice?

RE: To those who were once believers and are now atheists, some advice?
I had lost a couple of friends but I got them back later after convincing them that I wasn't a bad bogey man in cahoots with Satan, I just saw many logical issues with the christian story.

I suggest that you address the "lost" friends in a humble way, telling them that you are struggling to understand the truth and you don't want to be mislead by anything that isn't actually true. Tell them that an atheist is simply someone who is not yet convinced of the god stories, nothing else. Then ask them why they believe in spite of A, B, C, etc..

You sometimes can break one away from the delusion. I've had success more than a couple of times.
Find the cure for Fundementia!
