I'm sure the question would be referring to CS Lewis who was a famous writer and spoke out on the evils of christianity but converted while writing Mere Christianity.

Saul (aka Paul) according to the book of Acts persecuted Jews but became a Christian.
St. Augustine was also a non-believer and became, obviously, a strong believer as he has explained in his Confessions.

I am one of those who formerly opposed christianity, but now embrace it.
A man named William Miller was a self proclaimed athiest. He studied the Bible to find all of its contradictions, but couldn't find any, and he later began what is called the advent movement from 1833 to 1844.

Paul of Tarsus, who was a Roman citizen but a Jew. His name was formerly Saul. He persecuted Christians and killed them. His conversion story is found in the book of Acts. Recorded by Luke in chapter 9. Blessings!

P.S. David i, thank you for your testimony. It was so wonderful. Thumbs up. You as a Jew, know more about the background of Jesus' ancestry than Christians do. Thank you for sharing.
