I think that "A" would be more interesting. I would be interested in finding out WHICH God, or WHICH religion actually caught and held the attention of an atheist!
As for fundamentalist Christians I think a few could learn to not be so narrow minded and judgmental and be more loving and leave the judging up to Creator. So, fundies have not appeal to me whatsoever.

Well, since I read all the time about Philosophers who have found God I find them interesting. Someone who is a Christian and gives up their faith is not interesting because that's what we expect as the time draws near for Jesus to come again.

Depends on the atheist or the Christian and why they changed their beliefs. Even though I don't agree with him (obviously), I find Charles Templeton's story fairly interesting.

A.) Atheist who found God, because I would be interested to know how having God in his life changed it for the better.

Definately A. But I suppose that's because I believe in God. Certainly an atheist would be interested in story B.

I'm actually interested in both, having been a convert myself. I like to read others' stories of conversion. In both cases, there would probably have been a bit of a psychological upheaval.

Neither, unless the fundy Christian also decided to "come out" and March in that Parade he's so covertly coveted over the years.

B.
They claim to have had faith for X number of years, when in fact, they apparently did not. Option A found something they presumably were not looking for.

B - as a spiritual counselor, I hear it all the time and the story is always different.

B
it would be more interesting to hear what revelations led up to the realization that they were wrong.
