Yeah, they like to claim deconverts didn't really believe, or were not True Christians to begin with. They keep forgetting despite all reminders, that it is them, that have to prove something. I am only 33, never heard any evidence for a god, not even a congruent definition. So, I stand and live my life, while they find that proof.
I never claimed that he wasn't a true believer before. Knowing that, though, does help me to better understand where he's coming from. I do believe people can be true believers and then leave the faith. I know people who seem to be in that situation.
