Seems it would be a little one sided.
Pretty much the same way a good novelist creates compelling dialogue. So yeah, pretty much one sided .. sort of.

My question is simply were any of these members Christians before - Here I mean, did any of these members have a personal relationship with Jesus and then became atheists? Anybody can 'belong to a church' but to have a relationship with God is something totally different....
Well how are we supposed to know that? Do you actually think you can tell who has a real relationship with Jesus from those who merely attend church? If so, please enlighten us. I just assume everyone who thinks they have a relationship with the creator of the cosmos is a loon.
If you really think you know someone with a real relationship, try an experiment for us. Set it up so that you both are communing with your secret friend and then ask him to pass on a message to your fellow believer. It'll be interesting to see how often you can reliably transmit a message across the lord to one another. Set it up with cameras and observers and you might have the makings of some great evidence. Good luck.
