The Accidental Atheist: How I Got Here and How You Can Help (Part 1 of 2)

(Part 1 of 2 -- Stephen L. Gibson, Bishop John Shelby Spong, and Tom Harpur) How does a true believer come to atheism? Understand Stephen's path, backed by archived exchanges with two former pastors and one retired Episcopal bishop, as well as an evolutionary biologist--all in order to share with Christian believers exactly how and why some people stop believing. Wouldn't believers want to fully understand that process? Perhaps save others from it? Of course Steve's goal is not that, but rather is mutual understanding--as the first step toward tolerant, peaceful, and respectful interactions. He understands the world of believers; have you tried to genuinely understand his story? As you will find out, it wasn't a willful or conscious choice. (Excerpts with Bishop John Shelby Spong, scholars and former pastors Dr. Robert M. Price and Tom Harpur, and biologist Dr. David Sloan Wilson.)
