I'm an atheist, but really enjoy your work. Thanks very much. Thanks for bringing people together with opposing views in a kindly debate. We need so much more of that right now.

I’ve been experiencing a period of doubting my faith lately but I couldn’t put into words why I couldn’t reject my Christian faith even in my doubt I just couldn’t reject Jesus and after listening to this Justin put into words everything that I was feeling. Something in me just knows that it’s true. Thank you so much after hearing this I’ve fallen in love with the gospel all over again.

I am an atheist and really appreciate Justin. He is really good at having positive conversations. He does give us an example of being able to respectfully engage one another.

Thankyou, this is exactly what i needed. Im a teenager from britain who struggles and i searched you up because you commented on a great book called ask. I didn't expect to watch the whole video, especiappy when i saw that it was 35 minutes. But it completely lifter me up off the ground. Thankyou

Thank you Justin. I have been a Christian for more than 40 years and never doubted the existence of God as the creator of the universe and life, that is why I am completing a degree in Religious Studies and Philosophy, after Education. The Big Conversation Debates I have watched on YouTube have been so interesting and motivating for me to do my part in sharing my thoughts in French & Spanish on the existential questions I had since the age of 10, although I am a nube techwise. You are encouraging me to share my experience and study on this subject I am so passionate about.

As a life long atheist I have always looked forward to the debates and conversations organised by Justin. Keep it going.

I’m personally a Hindu but I love watching this channel and it’s free discussion.

[davidcloyd]

So powerful and refreshing. Experiencing a supernatural encounter with Christ is difficult to explain, but is tangible and real. I hope everyone takes this question seriously enough to explore it sincerely. They will undoubtedly come to the end of themselves and find Gods grace is the answer.

[patman]

if he said, belief in God, that might make more sense, it's not just athiests who don't believe in the Christian God, it's the vast majority of the planet

[bkhan]

II came to Christianity through science. When I find an inscription in the sand I think it's common sense to think a human wrote it, whereas a militant atheist would believe that crabs and sea motion over the millennia wrote that single phrase. It simply doesn't make sense. As a former atheist, former agnostic, and now a believer in Christ I sincerely thank the new atheists who with their so-far futile attempts to debunk the Christian faith and replace it with their naturalistic and irrational faith make my faith in GOD and Christ stronger because it is based on firmer ground. And for this, I must deeply thank Justin Brierley and the precious debates he hosts in his show that compare the two worldviews.

[Alun]

I do not object to Justin remaining a Christian despite his dialogues with atheists over the years, but I found myself having to say, over and over again, no, that is not what atheists believe. At no point did Justin provide a steel man representation of the atheist position and instead tended towards straw manning. Disappointing to say the least.

This brought me to tears. Thank you, Justin.
