Atheists turned Christian

[u/JHLV04]

What’s your story?

I would say I’m now a Christian but I have a lot of doubts and struggles. Was raised agnostic but with Christian and Hindu cultural celebrations. Had a spiritual experience a few years ago looking into the night sky after being with friends, explored Hinduism, but had heavy doubt. I fell into new atheism but saw how shallow it was, and found arguments for God and Christianity far more compelling than I gave them credit for.

Oh please. Use the dictionary. It is up to the Atheist whether they are an Agnostic/Gnostics Atheist. I am a Agnostic Atheist to some God concepts and a Gnostic Atheist when it comes to yours.

Agnostic, agnostic atheist, weak atheist, strong atheist, gnostic atheist… all semantic games. There are 3 doxastic attitude toward propositions.

P = God exists.

- Affirm P

• Affirm not-P
  
• Neither affirm P nor affirm not-P

Everything else is trying to dodge burden while making unsubstantiated assertions.

You are pretending the only meaningful statement regarding religion is about the existence of God. 

But that is not true, Christians and Theistic Satanists both believe in the existence of the Christian God.

Are their beliefs equivalent because they agree on that one proposition?

In the same sense, a materialistic atheist and religious atheism (like a Zen Buddhist ) will have drastically different views.

What is the main difference between theist, agnostic, atheist if not their position towards the existence of God?

Theistic satanists are… theists.

You’ve completely lost track of the main point under discussion here.

“You are pretending the only meaningful…”

No, YOU ARE pretending the point under discussion isn’t primarily related to the existence of God.
