Steve Loucks has noted a remarkable phenomenon in his "Asymmetry of Conversion" pages: many people who had advocated various forms of Christianity deconvert and become agnostics or atheists, while it is very rare for someone who had understood and used atheist arguments to convert to some religion. And as he describes in his pages, he had done a lot of searching. This should not surprise us as there is no rational reason why intelligent people should take the Old Testament more seriously than other Bronze Age and Iron Age mythology of the time. Further there is no reason to take the New Testament mpore seriously than other mythology from the Roman Empire.
