He does not espouse the Christian God, but calls himself a Deist.

I don't see, myself, that he has improved his spiritual condition by much.

Well, you certainly cannot find God if you don’t believe that God exists. For a former atheist to come to believe there is a supreme being responsible for creating all of this is huge. It rejects creation without a creator. It means recognizing that an incredibly powerful being exists that may have an impact on your life.

If he truly does keep looking at the evidence and hunting for the truth, he will find God. But you’re not going to look for God if you don’t think God exists. That’s why it’s such an important 180 on this guy’s part. He is open to the idea of God, that God exists, and that God can be found.

Read the book. He does not say the Christian God in not real. He is very pro-Chrisian God as he says He is the best to fit the things that the Mind behind the Universe must be.

no but for a lot of converted atheists belief in God comes first, conversion to Christianity follows later. After they come to terms with believing in God, the next question they often turn to is “which God” Lets hope this is true for this man as well
