  Clearly, that is not the only way. Atheists don't necessarily need to do anything. Often times Christians deconvert because of the actions or statements of other Christians.
  Ampersand.

      And others deconvert because they know their faith too well and start noticing contradictions within the doctrine, which requires no influence from other people.

    "Often times Christians deconvert because of the actions or statements of other Christians."
    Not to agree with Locky here, but Locky's twisted view of Christianity and Catholicism has strengthened my own understanding of the Gospels and Christ's actions. Especially towards the poor and marginalized. So the hateful statements of other Christians (or other religious fanatics) doesn't necessarily mean one will embrace the faith of atheism.
