This is a video from an Atheist, Seth Andrews, that was once a Christian radio host and believer for 30 years that lost his faith and now has a wife and many Christian family members that are still Christians. He is explaining his journey to people that don't understand. This is my experience as well. I am thankful that my wife and kids were understanding and listened to me that it was not a choice. Here are some of his comments:
1. Yes, we were real christians, we believed what you did and were dedicated to it.
2. They did not fail us, it is not their fault. We have no desire to cause pain to anyone else.
3. We appreciate and understand their concern.
4. We still want to be part of the family and friend groups.
5. We did not choose to lose our faith. We are looking for truth.
6. We are looking for an authentic life just like any believer should be doing. It is not about rebellion, hate God or want to sin etc.
7. We are not different, we are the same people.
8. We are worried we are going to lose people we love, lose a marriage and how will it affect the relationships in my life that I want to keep.
My experience has been generally good but I know people that have lost marriages and relationships. My wife believes that if God is good he will show me the evidence I need to be convinced someday.
If you are a believer and know a loved one that lost their faith I would encourage you to listen to the video, it is only 18 minutes.
