Atheism 👎2

(cont'd from yesterday's post)

Influencers who now express approval of Christianity or religion also include Tom Holland and Richard Dawkins (both are still atheists to my knowledge). It's good to see the tone of our culture pull back from hostility to God. It means less pressure against young people who want to believe.

Intellectuals who have actually converted to Christianity from atheism include Ayaan Hirsi Ali  and her husband, historian Niall Ferguson, formerly British but now in America. They and their two sons were baptized in the Anglican Church in 2023.

"Though Ferguson sees profoundly the crisis of our times . . brought about by the abandonment of Christianity, this is not primarily a political conversion. 

"He is, in his own words, a lapsed atheist. Much more important, he's a believing Christian. . . It’s a deeply personal and deliberate turn to faith by a man who was formerly a lifelong atheist . . ."

Here's a video of Dr. Ferguson from 2019:
