After she left the convent, Karen Armstrong called herself an atheist. "I used to hate religion," she says. "I loathed it in my angry days."

It is so sad that she never knew Y'shua.

Blessed are You, O L-rd Our G-d , King of the Universe

b'shem Y'shua

The salient fact is where she is NOW, no where she used to be in her atheistic/agnostic phase.
Nearly all the great saints of Christianity led lives of depravity, godlessness and selfishness before their conversion. From St.Augustine thru St.Francis, Ignatius Loyola, to the present -- all were reprobates until their conversion. Oscar Wilde expressed this reality best: "Every saint has a past and every sinner a future."
