Atheists who become Christians

[watchamadoodle]

The next step as after I was a believer, and began to fall into the trap of religion (worshiping the method of worship rather than God.)

That's an interesting story, but it doesn't necessarily mean that Christianity is true. In fact, believiing in Christianity requires you to ignore the historical evidence indicating fundamental changes to Judaism and Christianity over the centuries - not at all like God was inspiring those religions. Also, if Christianity is true, we should expect to see God doing something, and scientists should be able to measure that activity. Even if God's activity is limited to helping Christians find their car keys more often than non-Christians, this affect should be measurable.

So there are many reasons to disbelieve in Christianity, and if you know about hallucinations, then you should be very skeptical of guardian angels bumming money off you at a convenience store. If the guardian angel was a hallucination, then of course it would know everything about your life. If you were inspired by predictions of the hallucination, then you might work hard to fulfill those predictions.

If a guardian angel tells you that 1 + 1 = 3, are you going to believe him? Christianity is the equivalent of 1 + 1 = 3. (IMO)

EDIT: Even if you accept that you experienced something supernatural, it would be more reasonable to suspect that you were simply hearing a message from some non-Christian entity in the language of your religious beliefs. For example, in the Martian Chronicles, a martian appeared to be Jesus to a priest, because that was the language the priest would understand.
