If they converted back to Christianity, they were never true atheists...
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Well not really, I just wanted to get your attention and pose the question, why do Atheists convert to christianity? I have seen it a few times where a long time atheist will 'convert' back to christianity. Even if god himself came down on a big white cloud and personally invited me to join the Christian religion I'd take myself off the shrink rather than become a Christian.

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)  (April 30, 2014 at 12:05 pm)BlackSwordsman Wrote: So after many years of being atheist I now believe in GOD.

An then only until I could get away from the crazies.
