The famous atheist and chronic mocker of the Christian faith, Dr. Richard Dawkins, who has had free access to the mainstream media loudspeaker for decades, has changed his stance on the value of Christianity.
I recently wrote about this in my regular WND commentary. In an interview with LBC, he now calls himself a cultural Christian. Some epiphany moment must have occurred.
Former atheist Ayaan Hirsi Ali is now a Christian: This brings me to another world-famous atheist who has been a convenient tool for the mainstream Marxist push for godlessness and chaos in the West, Ayaan Hirsi Ali. In a recent debate with Dr. Dawkins, she explains that she is now a Christian, writes historian, bestselling author and founder of The Herland Report, Hanne Nabintu Herland.
Considering to take her own life after a decade of depression, self-loathing and anxiety, she felt disconnected from a meaningful existence. She chose to pray to God for help.
The article continues below the UnHerd debate.
Former atheist Ayaan Hirsi Ali is now a Christian: Hirsi Ali came to comprehend that the history of Western civilization is mainly Christian. She no longer mocks Christ or Christians, she states, pointing out that the external forces that now threaten the West should have been countered by the message of the genuine Christian civilization.
The message of love, redemption, renewal and rebirth, which makes Christianity a very powerful story for the human condition and human existence.

Former atheist Ayaan Hirsi Ali is now a Christian: Also, the recognition of suffering and sin – the character defects both good and evil that are within us, these teachings of Christianity are far more powerful and have led to the flourishing of Western civilization.
Consequently, Christianity restored Hirsi Ali’s faith in life and removed the mental state of spiritual bankruptcy that she had been battling.
She says that she regrets her role in the New Atheist movement that has been so influential in the 2000s. She made the grave mistake of conflating Christianity with Islam, she explains, thinking that all perceptions of God are the same and equally wrong.
Yet, watching the debate between Hirsi Ali and Dawkins, one cannot help but notice how deep we have fallen the past century, as leading intellectuals are completely ignorant of the massive Christian influence on Western civilization.
They simply do not know that it was Christian morals that produced the Western dawn of human rights, the principle of equality regardless of race, gender and status, the abolishment of slavery, the institution of the family, the emancipated role of the woman and much more?
