What is it about Christianity that scares people enough for them to want to entertain the idea that Atheism is the way to go?
When it comes down to religious choices, we are usually born into a religion, which our parents had been baptized into, by their parents, and so on, and so forth, but what if your parents weren't baptized in to the same religion?
For example; What if my mom is Catholic, and my dad is Lutheran, what does that mean for their children? Well, in my case, I have a brother who is baptized both Catholic and Lutheran. My younger brother and I are both baptized Lutheran.
I know ... strange right?
What if, even though you are baptized a certain religion, you don't necessarily believe in what that religion teaches? Do you still remain in that religion, or do you look for a different religion that best fits your spiritual needs?
Is atheism even a religion? Some would say yes, because in certain religions the belief in a deity, doesn't exist, but the followers are still in touch with their spiritual side.
Christianity began as a Jewish sect in the eastern Mediterranean in the mid-1st century. It is based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.
Christianity regards the bible as the authoritative word of God, because they believe that the bible was written by human authors, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. In other words they are believing in something that may, or may not, be true.
Atheists see Christianity as a religion based on blind faith, which indeed it is, and most need to see proof of God's existence, before they will change their mind and become a born again Christian.

Some people have claimed to have seen God, when they died, (before they were resuscitated), but what if it wasn't really God, and it was just a hallucination from the lack of oxygen?
We need to be careful about what we wish for, because there are negative forces out there, that are willing to fool the masses to get them to believe that God has returned, via hologram, so that the masses will bow down to their evil agenda.
All that I ask of you is to not believe it out of blind faith, because that is what the negative forces are expecting you to do, especially if you are a Christian.
With that said, would you still rather believe that it really is God because of blind faith? My answer to that question is 'No ... I would not.
I also know that Atheists would not believe it either. What does this say about the many Christians, who are waiting patiently to witness the return of Jesus Christ, and the rapture?
Doesn't this blind faith leave the Christians vulnerable to a possible abduction scenario?
I hope that this sermon gave you many things to think about. I also hope that we can spiritually connect with one another, so that we can work toward bringing a more peaceful existence to a planet, which is far from being peaceful, at this time.
Next sermon: Are there evil messages in the music that we choose to listen to?
