“Have Doubts? So Do We”

If they have doubts then they are not atheist.

Yeah, you beat me to it.
I always thought doubters were agnostic and non-believers were atheists.

I agree. I don’t know of one Christian that didn’t “question” their religion at some point. Maybe not right out there with “God doesn’t exist” but more along the lines “why doesn’t God help me or cure a person”. It is typical and personally I believe God welcomes questions of faith. How else could we contemplate Him and religion in general. For example, we recently had a close relative go through heck with bone cancer/lung cancer/shattered hip etc... Her sister “questioned” why God would make a good person go through so much agony. After her death, the sister is actually more spiritual and religious. Why? I think she realized that God was with her and her sister even during the most difficult times.
