The Rise and Fall of the Christian Atheist Movement

Perhaps no Christian has spent more time talking with big-name atheists than Justin Brierley. His radio show-made-podcast, Unbelievable?, models healthy discourse between Christians and those who doubt the faith. Such conversations led to his forthcoming book, “The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God,” which Justin discusses with Patrick in today’s episode. Hear about the collapse of “New Atheism” and how today’s atheists have increasingly more in common with conservative Christians, especially concerning transgender issues and critical theory. Plus, do today’s atheists simply see Christianity as a “useful lie” that’s helped shape human rights issues, or are secular thinkers reconsidering Christianity as a whole? Listen now! 

Note: This episode is from our previous podcast, Truth Over Tribe. We’ve kept a few of these conversations on our feed because they're worth revisiting, but the tone and focus have shifted from what we’re doing now on Not Just Sunday. For new episodes focused on how Christians can live out a full-time faith, check out Not Just Sunday, right here on the same feed.
