OP, this only proves that atheists turn to theism for the same reasons people who are already theists cling to their theism - comfort, illusion of safety, desire to live forever, desperate desire for objective meaning. Unfortunately none of these say anything about whether their theistic claims are true or not.

Just as any Christian (ex-atheist or not) can say, "I KNOW my God exists because (insert non-evidence based, emotional reason here)", anyone of any other faith or religion can say the same (I know Buddha's methods are the keys to enlightenment because ____. I know the Hindu God Krishna will cause me to reincarnate because ____). And since none of you would have any objective evidence for your claims, you're all on equal ground and there's no reason to believe any of you.

Also, I'm quite certain the amount of people becoming atheist far trumps the amount of atheists becoming religious, especially in the modern day where atheism is more a result of the vast amount of scientific knowledge available to us now + open discourse about religion on the internet.

I take it you have no meaning, you are just a result of some random processes. Well, nice to meet you.

"An atheist is someone who is certain that God does not exist, someone who has compelling evidence against the existence of God. I know of no such compelling evidence." - Carl Sagan

Maybe you should give us your evidence.
Also provide a picture of the human as proof that it exists.
thanks.

Yeah, exactly 15 years ago, i heard islam is the fastest growing religion in the world with statistics to back it up.
Today, we know better.

I desperately want to believe in a loving father who has always got my back and that of 7billion other humans (i'll ignore d millions of sick, starving and dying children) but there is no evidence he exists, no matter how desperately i want him to. Doesn't matter if CS Lewis et al believes it. Weed produces d same hallucigenic effect in genuises as well as dumb people.
