A Former Atheist

[Jenny A]

This is the Converts Corner. Do you see the atheist that used to be theists posting here as doubtful? I don't. I don't think that you see as many atheists turned theists as you might suspect, I only think you resent them. Lets be realistic. Atheists are the minority. Militant atheists the minority of that minority. Theists are typically uninformed on the subject of the Bible, and disinterested in it. It's a customary traditional socio-political interest. There is no Christian nation, and there never has been, but in the U.S. the religious idiots rule the roost because they have the majority in a democratic society that doesn't work. The atheist concern in the West is political and social. Not a supernatural or scientific issue. 

This is just my take, but most people who've deconverted from a religion, did so by skeptical thinking, sometimes with much emotional trauma.   Most atheists who converted to a religion were raised without religion and converted mostly because of emotion.  All anecdotal, I know, but that's mostly what  I see.  I've yet to hear of anyone who really converted after reading the bible.

Additionally, we also get a number of pretenders who say I used to be atheist and then turn out to be a sock of a theist who's been here before.
