Even then the book will make the argument that the evidence for Christianity is so overwhelming, it takes faith to ignore. |
When in Florida I had a long term friend who was an atheist, only he didn't bother with any of it. He had no interest in any religion or lack thereof. He made no profession in any of it, including atheism. He said he had no need for it.
Yet oddly, I suppose, in his life, actions, words, etc., he was more Christian than most Christians I've known.
I think you're talking about the New Atheists, like Dawkins.
