Journey from Atheism to Curiosity
Guillaume Bignon shares his experience growing up in a secular environment in France, where practicing Roman Catholicism felt more like a cultural obligation than a genuine belief. As an atheist in his early twenties, he enjoyed a life filled with academic pursuits, sports, and social relationships, but he developed a disdain for religion, viewing belief as intellectually deficient. This perspective began to shift when he encountered an American woman who expressed her faith in God and shared her conviction about abstinence before marriage, forcing him to reconsider his views on Christianity. Intrigued yet resistant, he began a journey to learn more about the faith he sought to disprove.
