Can atheists convert theists?

[Samson]

You're equating belief in god or spirit with religion in particular. The number of people believing in a religion may be decreasing but that's not what I said. You don't have to be in a religion to believe in god. So the number of religious people can decrease, while the number of those who believe in god yet aren't in a religion can increase.

That is interesting that you brought this part up, which I have in bold for you.

That's usually the first step in the, so called, DE-converting process...I've known many people to go from being the Church going Christian, to just simply believing in a god/higher power, then after years of this start questioning more things they see from being on the outside looking in.

I've known a few to go from calling themselves a Christian to converting over to some type of pagan break off, which in turn ends up leaning them more to an agnostic view of their understandings.

Either way, it's still better than believing in a god through a desert book that derived from so much hate and in the end tried to ribbon bow tie it with shady love.
