Who is least likely to convert to Catholicism, an atheist or an anti-Catholic Protestant?

Question

There are many examples of converts to Catholicism of each, but I'm asking what people think about it.

Answer 1

I think probably someone of the anti-Catholic variety. I am slightly skewed, being a former Athiest myself and a Catholic convert, but I think that the Athiests objections are less directed than an anti-Catholics. Thus, to unroot all of the anti-Catholic teaching they had would be much more difficult.

Answer 2

An anti-Catholic protestant. A protestant doesn't even think critically about religion, so no change is possible.

An athiest thinks, so it's conceivable that he'd become catholic. He'd probably keep thinking though and go back to being an athiest.

The answer below mine is the typical idiot protestant. I don't know of it, so it doesn't exist. I have relatives who became catholic. Educated people are more likely to shed religion than to change from one type to another.

Answer 3

I think that an anti-Catholic Protestant would be the hardest. Protestants are taught hateful stereotypes about the Catholic Church from a young age so they just accept it as truth. They've been lead astray by their church leaders so I think they'd be the least likely to convert.

Answer 4

what is wrong with you? You tell lies about protestants you are ignorant and hateful towards other followers of christ. If you were not such a stupid pig you would know that we are all children of Christ. My sister is catholic I am protestant. I go to her church and she goes to mine. We both know that we share worship of the same God. How can you be so stupid as to think that catholicism is the only true religion.

There are many protestants that were former catholic that think catholics are satan worshipors becuase they pray to idols. Statues.

Answer 5

As an atheist who was raised Catholic, and someone who knows several anti-Catholic Protestants, it seems to me that the latter is the least likely to convert. Someone who is vehemently anti-anything is less likely to convert to that than someone who just doesn't believe in god.

Answer 6

Alot of people are actually born into the Catholic religion and then later change their religion for whatever reasons....I havent as yet ever heard of anyone that has converted to the Catholic Religion...so those 2 choice you give ...are not ones that would convert to catholilcism

Answer 7

ALL the churches today should give thanks to the CATHOLIC church. It was the catholics that preserved the scriptures..so others could come and 're-interpret' them. Jesus Christ gave authority to his TRUE church to make laws in his name...Catholicism was the original and correct way..

Answer 8

Athiest. A person who already believes that there is a god would be much likelier accept a different interpretation of what that god wants, that a person who doesn't believe in a god at all.
