To: He Rides A White Horse

Well, he certainly doesn't fit my view of an "atheist". An atheist doesn't call himself "Reverend" and then establish a church.
However, like Newdow, I, as an atheist, also discuss religious stories and so on openly with at least my oldest child (the others are still too young to comprehend it all). That is, I want my children to decide on their own, as long as they reach their conclusions through careful thought and consideration (which, of course, would lead to my view. =) ). I think most atheists do the same.

Mom was nuetral. She learned the gospel while singing in the musical Godspell and accepted Christ 4 years later at age 24. About 12 years after that her sister and her sisters children accepted Christ largely by the influence of my wife and 14 years later her mother accepted Christ.
All of them wish they knew about God's love earlier and wish their father had taught the about it.
