I confess I'm skeptical to this. First thing to pop into my head is that this is just another fundie trying to save souls by fitting in then sticking the hook down the throat.
Granted I could be wrong. Show me.
My theory on this is it is virtually impossible for an atheist, who is educated on mythology, to suddenly convert, and embrace what he or she knows is a complete fabrication. Now, if one is simply someone who doesn't believe in a god, but then didn't pursue the quest for knowledge, and research to trace the lies back to their inception, and then for some reason they decide due to a personal experience, or pressure from family to "convert" and embrace god, then that I can see. But for one that is deeply educated on this nonsense such as myself, there isn't anything short of god appearing before me, and thousands of others as witness to ensure I wasn't having a hallucination or stroke, and said in a sky shaking voice," Goodwithoutgod, you are wrong, feel my power!" or some such thing, write in the sky something, then I am not suddenly going to convert and embrace what I have known for years now is a complete and utter fabrication.
Religious belief requires the embracement of the three Fs, Fiction, Forgery and fantasy. To believe in the unseen, unproven and intangible, as defined by a transcendental "relationship" with the anthropocentric, abrahamic mythical god.
You, not a mythical god, are the author of your book of life, make it one worth reading..and living.
