They made a video game?
Or you could give them Rod and Todd's Bible Blasters:
Bart: When I’m feeling low, you know what always cheers me up?
Todd: Is it love?
Rod: Kindness?
Bart: Ooh, tough room. Videogames! Whaddya got? [grabs a videogame off the shelf, and reads the title] “Billy Graham’s Bible Blaster?”
Rod: Keep firing; convert the heathens!
[cut to a pixilated video screen. Heathens cross the street, as a Bible gun shoots the Holy Book at them. When a heathen gets hit, he turns into a conservatively dressed man with a halo]
[cut back to the boys]
Bart: Got him!
Rod: No, you just winged him and made him a Unitarian.
Todd: Look out, Bart! A gentle Baha’i!
[cut back to the video screen. A Baha’i, sitting cross-legged and wearing a turban, floats past. Bart zaps him, and turns him into another suit-wearing conservative]
[cut back to the boys]
Bart: All right! Full conversion! [puts his arms around Rod and Todd] Thanks guys, this really cheered me up.
Video: Second Coming! Reload, reload!
Todd: Can we play now?
Bart: We are playing. We’re a team.
Rod + Todd: [pause] Yay!

NO! And do you want to know the answer? Every credible review of the Left Behind game says it is a poor game. Poorly designed, poor graphics, poor gameplay, etc;...
So if you like giving a gamer a game that is very poor, then go right ahead. Now, as a joke, maybe you could give it to him. But I don't consider crappy joke gifts to be "good" gifts.

I would say not. This game is based upon religion. Gamespy says this:
"it's a game about evangelical Christians battling the forces of Satan"
"Left Behind looks bad from start to finish"
"Units bow their heads to pray in order to replenish their "spirit" resource and giving a unit orders may elicit a response like "For the Lord!" or "In His name!""
They try to keep explicit religious items out of the game, but it's there. Overall, it looks like the game isn't worth the money. But, if you think he'd be into the gimmick of fighting the Devils forces, go for it. For that retail price though, you could definately get something a little more mainstream.

No self respecting gamer would want to play that game. Gamespot gave it a 3.4 out of 10. That's not worth playing.
ETA: Oh, here's something else about the game: it's both sexist and racist!
"Similarly, the game has a 1950s-style attitude about men and women. Only males can become priestlike disciples and handyman builders, whereas only women can become nurses. Female units are actually designated as such and given ridiculous titles like "Friend Woman" and "Medic Woman," a sexual distinction that unsurprisingly isn't extended to their male counterparts. Finally, the game isn't politically correct when it comes to race, either, because a fair number of the bad guys bear Arab and African names."

A religious based game for an atheist? Are you serious?
You probably want to try and brainwash him, I mean decieve him, I mean convert him into believing in pink monkeys!
Why not put your religion down and get him something like QUAKE, DOOM or something like that!
Perhaps if they made a game like that where you have to kill the evil monotheists before they convert you it would be a cool game!
Just a thought to all those designers of games out there!
Having to dodge flaming bibles or crosses!

i became like that for somewhat.. till i went to a public college. I loved e book's (human being ones, like dinosaur and truth ones) and drawing (i have been given some fairly intense priced pencils and that i loved them) the gadget gun concept is hillarious, unhappy and authentic.. the different little ones are going to kill him.. perchance educate him self protection (no he's not too youthful.) lego is for sure a no no (infant) i imagine paintings resources are a reliable concept.. i'm in Australia.. 116 is like 40 tiers right here thats no longer THAT undesirable.. you only want coloration and water.. get him a snow cone maker.. educate him a thanks to make ice cream and different frozen treats..

Only if you have a sick sense of humor... would YOU apreciate a video game from your friend called "Satan Wins" where you role-play as a devil kicking angels' butts? I doubt it...

Sure, too bad it is only a game. It would be great if he/she did not stay behind in life.

LOL- no probably not. I would think you would be better off with the new Madden or Grand Theft Auto on that one.
