Like many other atheists, I
Like many other atheists, I was surprised to find out that Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a prominent and much-admired Ex-Muslim, was now calling herself a Christian. I read her essay and watched her interview explaining why this change happened, and she noticeably dodges (or in her words, "sidesteps") the question of how she knows Christianity is true. I suspect the reason is because she is basing her belief on blind faith - she doesn't have good evidence that Christianity is true, and she knows it. So why does she still believe? I explore that in this video.
I understand hating what Islam has done to her and hating the notion of Islam's God, and I also understand having major concerns about Islam's impact on the world. Beyond that, I understand the need for meaning and hope. But that doesn't mean we should suspend our reason and embrace irrationality by adopting another religion that shares many of the same toxic teachings as Islam.
