One of the fun little sayings in the non-religious/atheist community is that nothing turns someone into an atheist faster than actually reading the bible. By actually, we mean reading it with a critical and not an apologetic mind, and fully considering its claims in the light of what we know about the world today.
Most Christians consider the saying as flippant and simplistic, although it’s difficult to argue there isn’t a shred of truth to it. Most atheists were once religious, and thus at one point or another, hit this brick wall that our singer here hit. Everyone’s story is unique, of course, but there are several common threads in such deconversion stories; and one of the most common is the realisation that the Bible is an ordinary book- filled with bad ideas (marrying off a girl to her rapist), bad science (Adam and Eve) and bad history (the Exodus).
