Approaching Atheists: Top 9 Don'ts for Talking About Christianity with Atheists

In our continuing series about evangelization and atheists, Jason and I established that by far the best thing Christians can do to evangelize to their nonbelieving friends and family members is to simply pray and show Christ to others through their actions and words.

However, those of us who have many atheist friends, family members and/or coworkers often find ourselves in friendly discussions about religion even when we don't actively seek them out. Jason and I collaborated to put together a list of do's and don'ts with some tips for navigating these kinds of conversations when they arise. Our first list, Top 9 Don'ts for Talking About Christianity with Atheists, is up over at his site.

When I was 26, I had never once believed in God, not even as a child. I was a content atheist and thought it was simply obvious that God did not exist. I thought that religion and reason were incompatible, and was baffled by why anyone would believe in God (I actually suspected that few people really did). After a few years in the Bible Belt, I became vocally anti-Christian. Imagine my surprise to find myself today, just three years later, a practicing Catholic who loves her faith (my husband and I both entered the Church at Easter Vigil 2007). This is the chronicle of my journey.
