Session 8: What Do Atheists Believe?

In this session of Secret Church 16, Pastor David Platt helps Christians to think about reaching atheists and agnostics for Christ. While most people don’t think of atheists or agnostics as religious, the belief systems of such people are, in fact, a religion. Secular humanism applies the beliefs of atheists and agnostics to a formal ideological system.

Secular humanists, for example, have their own system of philosophy (philosophical naturalism) and ethics (consequential ethicism). Amazingly, over 287 atheistic people groups are currently identified as unreached. In this session, David Platt offers suggestions for sharing the gospel with atheists, including questions to ask in order to transition into a gospel conversation.
