A Three Day Series at The Wondering Eagle: Why Atheists Walk Away From Faith, And how They Find Freedom and Hardship in the Process

In December of 2019 an atheist video made the rounds on the internet that explained the reasons why people left faith and the and challenges that came about as a result. This is a brief post to lay the foundation for three days of discussion for what was revealed. During this I am going to squeeze in a couple of other posts about some of the stories I am working on.

The Accidental Atheist as Told on The Good Men Project

This is a story that I read on The Good Men Project where a man wrote about his journey into atheism. This story has a lot to add and this blog would like to add it to the other stories about atheism this blog is collecting.

De-Conversion Story: How Luke Douglas Lost his Faith in a Chic Fil A

At The Christian Post a former evangelical Christian who was deeply committed to Kan Ham’s teaching on a literal creationism explained his de-conversion in a post. Luke Douglas lost his faith in God in a Chic Fil A when it all came crashing down. This post is Luke’s story. As a reminder if there are others who want to tell their story of their de-conversion this blog is happy to give them a platform. 

Hillsong Worship Leader Marty Sampson and Considering Evangelical Christian Culture and Doubt

Former Hillsong worship leader Marty Sampson explained on Instagram that he is going through a faith crisis. As usual some of the vultures are circling in the sky waiting to devour their prey.

Why Josh Harris’ Deconversion From Christianity is a Positive Development, and How Evangelical Christians Are Responding to Him

Recently on Instagram Josh Harris explained that he is no longer a Christian. Harris’ deconversion from Christianity has created a buzz on the internet. This post looks at what happened and explains why this is a positive development for Josh Harris. A faith crisis can be healthy and good and this blog hopes that each reader who processes this post will go through one in their life. The real tragedy in the perspective of this blog is how Josh Harris is being mocked, ridiculed and and attacked by evangelical Christians. This situation shows the insecurity of many evangelicals.

Alex Honnold’s Free Solo Rock Climbing as well as his Atheism and View of Death

Alex Honnold has almost become a rock star in the climbing community. Hands down this post is about the best free style climber in the world today. In 2017 he achieved one of the most impressive feats, that of climbing El Capitan in Yosemite National Park free solo without a rope and harness. Alex is also an atheist who accepts that he is mortal and is talked about in the atheist community as well. Could there be some lessons about accepting your own death through Alex?

Gloria’s Experience with Campus Crusade for Christ and her De-conversion from Christianity

Why People Stop Believing. A Response to an Article Posted at the National EFCA Blog About Christians Who Lose Faith

The national EFCA blog had an article by Paul Chamberlain on Christians who lose faith. I read this blog post and wanted to do a response. I have written about faith crisis and loss of faith. This is an issue that is near and dear to me given my own experience. Above all else its The Wondering Eagle’s hope that the EFCA will honestly listen to those who have lost faith to try and understand them better.

This is a brief post drawing attention to an article that is written by Cassidy McGillicuddy at her blog “Roll to Disbelieve.” Its about her deconversion from Christianity, both at the time and how she looks at it later on. This is a good read that I hope you can process and reflect on.
