Reasons Why There Are More Atheists Coming From Christianity Than Islam by truthman2012(m): 5:13pm On Jul 01, 2016
Muslims accuse Christianity of breeding atheists. They fail to recognise the fact that it is not everyone bearing Christian name that is truly a Christian. In fact, you are not a Christian by birth even when it is long you have been attending a Church. You are not a Christian until you one day actually confess Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, come rain come shine.

Those who accept Jesus, not based on what they want to get from God but what to give to Him are the true Christians. Many of those invited to Jesus on condition on God's blessing them cannot go far with God. I have heard preachers tell a very large congregation fantastic benefits of accepting Jesus other than salvation. Even though God blesses His children but that is not why we should serve Him. Making God's blessings a means of serving Him is a satanic bait. The people who accept Christ in this way, most of them turn atheists when things are not as good as expected.

Another reason why many Church goers turn atheists is their inability to get their heart desire, especially wealth or success in some areas. They feel God has disappointed them, forgetting or not knowing that God's blessings are not without conditions. The Bible says: It shall come to pass if thou shall hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God to observe and to do ALL his commandments..... (Deut. 28:1). Other verses of the same chapter stipulates what God promised the holy and obedient children. The problem with the people is that they cannot live a life of total obedience to God to attract his promised blessings. So they become disappointed when their prayers for blessing are not answered.

There are things people want from God desperately, irrespective of whether or not are the will of God for their lives. There are things you want from God, which He will do but not the time you want it because He knows what is good for you at the right time. The people who are not deep with God would have forsaken Him before it is time for Him to act. And so they become atheists.

Another reason normal Christians become atheists is to free themselves from the prison of their conscience. There is a high standard of holiness required from the Christians. When they cannot meet the standard, they come to the conclusion that there is no God to liberate them to be committing sins.

Coming to islam, there are no specific promises of Allah based on holy and moral living. Therefore, there is no room for disappointment. You get disappointed only when you have a failed promise. You remain a muslim as long as you pray five times daily irrespective of your lifestyle. It is only during Ramadan fast they try to caution themselves in doing or not doing certain things as if Allah is not seeing them when not fasting.

It is a sin for a Christian to look at a woman with lust, and this is what many people are guilty of. To freely do this, all you need is renounce Christianity and become an atheist, otherwise you will be in prison of your conscience. But with muslims, it is no sin looking on another man's wife as their Allah ordained such:

Abu Aahuraira reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying:Verily Allah has fixed the
very portion of adultery which a man will indulge in and which he of necessity must commit
. The adultery
of the eye is the lustful look and the adultery of the tongue is the licentious speech, the heart desire
and yearns, which the parts may or may not put into effect (Sahih Muslim, Book 033, Number 6421 & 6422)

Ye have heard that it was said by them of the old time, Thou shall not commit adultery:
But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart (Matthew 5:27-28).

Since islam permits everything that pleases the flesh: coming adultery, fighting, retaliation, lying when it matters etc., why would any muslim turn to an atheist to enjoy the sins the atheists enjoy. The difference between atheism and islam is the five-time daily prayers because they (muslims) believe in a god.

Another reason being that some so-called men of God are not preaching the right messages. How can you be prophesying to an armed robber or a prostitute without preaching repentance first.

You are right.

I know many pastors who are pastors because of what they want to eat. Can you imagine a pastor asking a large congregation to make donation? How does he know what work they are doing?

But that doesn't mean there are no true men of God. In fact, there can be no fake if there is no original.

Christians are more liberal than Muslims. That is why you find most atheists coming from their ranks. BUT there are actually ex-Muslim atheists especially in the US.

@OP you are not entirely correct, firstly there are a lot more christians than muslims so it's only natural that you have more ex christian atheists than ex muslim atheist but in reality there might actually be more ex muslim atheist. A recent online survey done in saudi arabia revealed that they have a closet atheist population of 5% and closet christian population of almost 10%. In all reality because of evil islamic apotasy laws, ex muslim atheist rarely come out and declare their non faith as such it seems that there are more ex christian atheist.

Well, as ex-muslim atheists rarely come out for fear of apostasy, that could account for the reason it is believed there are more atheists in Christianity than islam. But the reasons why there are atheists in Christianity still stand.

Muslims fear for their lives, so they either suppress their feelings or learn to live a lie. It's easy to feign the performance of meaningless rituals for a reward. Pastors do it for cash. Atheists Muslims do it to keep their heads attached to their bodies.

Islam is such a hypocritical religion fraught with irreconcilable confusions that came from the pit of hell. Why should you stone adulterers or adulteresses when it is your allahh that caused it for them?

Are you saying Muhammad was wrong when he said Allah had fixed adultery for you islamists? Is that my own statement or Muhammad's? Something must be wrong with your reasoning faculty. For you to remain a muslim after reading all you have been reading, allahh has actually tampered with your reasoning.

This is just another nonsense oozing out from your end undecided they have skill once accepted Jesus as their personal lord and savior and in the long run, when they had the courage to read the Bible on their own and not a pastor reading it for them, they found out all the inconsistency and contradictions in it.

I will advice you to do the same.

Quran is the worse book in terms of contradictions and inconsistencies as allahh was substituting his revelations with what he called better ones as if there was somebody giving him new ideas (Qur'an 2:106).

If Church goers turn to atheists, it is because they are bread and butter Christians who want to enjoy the sins in the world. Muslims do not have reason to turn to atheists before they can enjoy this sinful world, their allahh permits all kinds of sin.

Jesus died for sins committed in the time of ignorance (Acts 17:30).

Any unrepented sins committed after the knowledge of Christ attract severe punishment (Heb. 10:26-27).

Obvious reasons already stated. Xtianity is generally more liberal being key.

This is a good thing. Most regular 'xtians' don't worry about it.

only you fundies care, so you can win your pissing contest against other Fundy groups, eg muslims
