An Atheist walks into Alpha

Ever wondered what an Atheist makes of the Alpha course? Well actually Adam Rudford has been writing about his experience of the course for a while now. Admittedly this is one persons views of the Alpha course and to take this as a absolute guide of what every Atheist would think would be ridiculous but still it could be very interesting.
Having browsed the latest post I did find a very interesting comment that he made. One of the people who was on the course with him appears to have decided that God does exist, in his own words she is an intelligent and thoughtful woman, however this decision of her makes him unhappy and he feels as though his arguments have failed. It is also interesting that he blames himself for this failure to convince (despite "[his] sturdy but polite defence of science and attack on healing (the most galling session)"). I find his response so intriguing that he accepts she is cleaver and a thoughtful person but can't accept this decision as being well thought through.
Anyway I will certainly be going through the posts and seeing what he made of it.
