If so, can you explain how it happened?

I converted many Christians to become Atheists, Taoists, or Agnostics by simply having them read the Bible and asking them common sense questions about it.
note - I have even convinced about ten to twenty to become Pagans.

You mean has an atheist ever converted due to having positive experience by a christian/s? Sorry I had to clarify but when people seek to convert it is not very natural. I think a person converts and seeks when ready and no person can truly convert another. It's like telling an alcoholic to stop.

If a person chooses to become an atheist on the grounds of reason and logic, it's highly unlikely that person will ever convert to Christianity.

Yes.
It happened because I was able to convince them that converting to my theology (Christianity) would bail them out of whatever problems they were having. I can tell you that it was successful among those who felt empty and were searching for something to fill that void that they felt could only be filled by the supernatural.
I am now an atheist. I still have my share of voids, but I know now that they can only be filled by me, making sound and healthy decisions, not by some imaginary God that answers specific prayers.
Some of those same people I helped to convert are still christians.
We are still friends.
We love each other and would do anything for the other, regardless of the difference in theology.

No, I have not converted an Atheist.
I can't even get people who claim to know that God exist, and that his son did come to save us; to go to church. I told my niece that, The Bible tells us not to forsake the assembly of ourselves together, and she said; "I hate to say this but we don't like to be around a lot of people nor do we like to fellowship. Heck we would run out of church to avoid a fellowship. I went to the church for the good preaching and for myself."
My sister who lives with me won't go and her son and family won't go and they all have been ask but the guilt ridden niece says; "Why have you decided to target me. Please, please lay off my case about this." Well, now that the preacher is divorced she says things just aren't the same and that is her excuse for not going, She also has said; "Any how thanks for your concern but it isn't going to make a difference if I go to church or not. I am still going to go to Heaven and that's what really matters"
I can't win an Atheist to Christ nor get believers to go to the house of the Lord.

Why is it your problem? They are happy with their choice of life. Why is it necessary for you to interfere with what someone believes or does not believe? Better yet should an atheist try to convert you?

All I can say is that they keep trying. I think the success rate is 0% from my observations. Only conversions are those who were xians as children and then return, never really became atheists, just couldn't be bothered with the xian rules for a while. They behave badly then repent.

Why would anyone want to convert anyone? Why not just let people think what they want?

I have seen two atheist friends with terminal illnesses cry out to God from their death beds.
Does that count?
