Opinion

Don't try to; you shouldn't attempt to push your beliefs on someone else. Although you can't change someones mind about a religion you can talk to them and explain what you feel should be right and why.

Opinion

Your atheist friend may recognize the spiritual tugging at his being and thus will acknowledge the existence of the unexplainable and at that point his/her belief system will explore religion. It may be Christian, may not. But whatever one he/she lands in, it will be one that recognizes forces that exist beyond our earthy minds. At that time, the atheist will establish his/her communion with God.

Opinion

Would you be as willing to convert to another religion? Do not ask of people what you can not do yourself.

Opinion

Show them the joy and love Jesus gives you and tell and show them that you love them and tell them that they can experience the love of Christ too.

Opinion

Consider how you would feel if the shoe were on the other foot. A problem (for you) is that most atheists have come to their positions after research and thinking and have all the good answers to your "reasons". They might convince you to come to his point of view

If one of your friends was a user of hard drugs, a swinger, Pastifarian (worshipping the Flying Spaghetti Monster), a member of the Church of the Subgenius (or any of the more mainline religions like Muslim, Hindu or Buddhist) and asked you to come to meet with him and his friends. Assuming it was pretty obvious that your friend fully expected that you would "see the light" and join up after this introduction, how would you feel?

Most people prefer to find their own way in these matters. Leave your friend alone or you'll have neither a convert or a friend.

Opinion

You might also ask yourself what an atheist would have to do to convince you that there is no God. An atheist will be as strong in his convictions as you are. What will you do if his arguments are better than yours?

Why did Theodore Roosevelt call thomas Paine filty little atheist?

One reason might be that Paine had published a work in 1794 called "Age of Reason" in which he criticized the Bible and Christianity, dismissing both as false and calling Christianity fundamentally immoral. In reality, Paine was neither little (he stood 5' 10"), nor was he an atheist. He was a deist, believing that God created nature and that was the end of God's contribution.

Is The Agonist an Atheist Band?

There is no rock band called The Agonist, but two bands called The Agony- one an American all-male band and the other a Czech all-female one. The American rock band The Agony all began as devout Christians, but gradually came to question organised religion, beginning with lead vocalist Rod Burguiere and then spreading to the rest of the group. Since 2002 they have moved away from Christianity and become more secular, but that does not mean that they have no SPIRITUAL beliefs. The Czech rock band's religious views are not known, but there's nothing to suggest that they are atheist.
