Brent Rasmussen asks an interesting question at UTI that reminds me of our discussion about Mother Teresa.
It’s a question for atheists: have you ever had a crisis of non-faith?
He quotes an unsigned op-ed in the Ontario Daily Bulletin:
It seems there is a lot being said these days about the struggle of faith. Is it because we are being more honest today than in the past? Or, is it because it’s harder to believe today than it was a hundred years ago? Probably both. Obviously science has impacted the world of faith and caused far more skepticism than there used to be. Which leads me to wonder about the skeptics of the world, the “unconvinced” as we sometimes refer to them in the church. Do they ever have a crisis of faith, or should I say nonfaith? Do they ever have a struggle of unbelief? Do they ever want to deny God with all their heart, but find that darn believing side creeping in?
I have yet to see a book by an atheist entitled “My Struggle Not to Believe.” (Bold is mine -Brent) A book where the author shares his stories about his near conversion and tries to encourage his fellow atheists to keep up the unbelief. I know Bertrand Russell told us why he wasn’t a Christian, but he never talked about his struggle to remain a non-Christian.
Bent asks:

So this is what young Christian men do in Finland….
