This is becoming more and more common from what I can gather. It seems like every month a major church around America invites an atheist to have a "fireside chat" with the pastor in an effort to bridge the (wide) communication gap between believers and unbelievers. Most of these are also posted online. This one in San Antonio apparently brought down the server due to the traffic. People are interested in this stuff and young minds are igniting upon hearing the other options that are out there. Hemant was raised Jain. "For so many people who have religious doubts, church is not a safe place for them to raise their concerns. They’re told to just have faith. They can’t tell their family members, either, out of fear that they’ll be disowned (or at least seen as a disappointment). So what do they do? Worst case scenario, they’re in for a long psychological battle, as if they’re somehow disappointing God for questioning His eternal wisdom. If Christians are right, I would think they’d embrace those doubts and respond to them in kind."
