Why atheists accept Christianity, according to one major Christian apologist organization:
1. GOOD LITERATURE AND REASONABLE WRITING.THE BIBLE IS A COLLECTION OF INCOHERENT, MAGICAL STORIES WRITTEN BY UNKNOWN AUTHORS AFTER THE SUPPOSED EVENTS
2. “EXPERIMENTATION” WITH PRAYER AND THE WORD OF GOD.

SCIENCE REJECTS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PRAYER OTHER THAN THE PLACEBO EFFECT
3. HISTORICAL STUDY

AS A WORK OF HISTORY, THE BIBLE FAILS MISERABLY
4. HONEST PHILOSOPHICAL REASONING.

ALL SYLLOGISMS IN SUPPORT OF CHRISTIANITY HAVE AT LEAST ONE FALSE PREMISE

BELIEF IN CHRISTIANITY IS UNREASONABLE BECAUSE IT REJECTS THE FINDINGS OF SCIENCE AND ACCEPTS THE UNSUPPORTED "GOD OF THE GAPS" FALLACY

A GOD IS NOT NECESSARY TO EXPLAIN APPRECIATION OF BEAUTY
Additional comments:
1. Atheists are more knowledgeable about Christianity than Christians generally.
2. Only 15% of professional philosophers are theists.
3. Morality is explained by evolution and nurturing.
4. The less religious the society, the more well-being is present
BOTTOM LINE:
The most common reason atheists reject Christianity is the same reason they reject all theism, there is no objective evidence. Obviously, if an atheist converts to Christianity or any other religion, critical thinking is lacking.
