A Christian becoming an Atheist is a bit tough, because they tend to vasilate back and forth, but ultimately it is encouraging to see them think their way out of the harmful belief system that has tied them up for so long.
Atheists rarely become Fundies, and when it does happen it is because of a disaster or death in the family. Neither are good times to make life changing decisions.
People who don't stray from their beliefs are boring, I would prefer someone who is open to thinking about things on either side.

1. At least I can understand that POV.
As for 2, I can't imagine why an atheist would become a fundie Christian, except in case of some emotional trauma that left him blindsided. Incidentally, it's cute that Christians are always saying "No atheists in foxholes," meaning that you choose God when you're in dire straits. As if that's some kind of endorsement! "God" as the hypocritical last resort of moral weaklings!
But of course we're all supposed to pick 3, I suppose, because the most important thing is "courage of one's convictions." Well, I'm all about convictions, but I'm also all about remaining mentally flexible enough to take in new information and adjust one's ideas and beliefs. It's a fine line between "stick-to-it-iveness" and obstinate stupidity.

1 - Only because you put fundamental in #2. Ideally, I would like to socialize with an atheist becoming a Christian but not a fundamental Christian.

4. someone who is talking to me.
I could care less what there religious preference or change in it is other than as a matter for curiosity and conversation. I would be willing to lend them help researching their heart if they were having trouble deciding on what there heart really wanted them to do. That is just the nosy problem solver in me though.

1.1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1.1 .1.1.1 .1.1.1.1.1.!!!!
I have spent way too much time with fundies (including family members) who screen movies about non-believers going to hell or evolution and secular films being a tool of the devil. Give me the moderates any day, they can find something more to speak with me about than religion!
